“…Those are indeed featured by the chance to conflict with habits (Becattini et al, 2017) and give rise to bewilderment. In this context, the importance of designs' evaluation is stressed by Arrighi et al (2015), who hypothesize that it is possible to improve designs and save resources with an earlier involvement of the user in the design process. The study of affordances is diffused among those that require design evaluators.…”

The paper investigates the relationship between the forms through which products are represented and the outcomes of evaluations made by observers. In particular, the study focuses on perceived affordances of creative designs, meant as the capability of capturing original elements and corresponding functions, for products presented through static images or videos. Also thanks to the use of Eye Tracking, the experimental results show how dynamic effects that involve salient aspects of products, as well as creative features, are critical to observers’ capability of capturing design intentions.

“…The tool needs to integrate the user in the design process by giving them simple interfaces to collaborate actively with the designers. The solution is to create the interfaces on demand for each use case and ensure their compatibility with the system with a modular architecture [5]. To check capability of tool with the mentioned solution, we implemented a design case focussing on 'interior design of furniture in a room', in a virtual 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 6 First Author, Second Author To test this, we implemented a second design use-case of 'interaction with an intelligent lamp'.…”

While Mixed Prototyping has proved to be e↵ective for the assessment of prototypes, this research aims to explore the use of Mixed Prototyping for the generation of early prototypes. To satisfy end-user's needs, new products need to be designed with an early integration of end-user requirements. An e cient way to achieve this is to directly integrate the end-users in the design process and give them an intelligible and interactive tool to perform specific design tasks. Current interactive tools to integrate end-users in the design process provide either a high level of immersion (e.g. CAVE) or a high level of control over the virtual prototype (e.g. Configurators). We designed a new Mixed Reality design tool which simultaneously allows end-users to be immersed in a virtual environment (immersion) and to interact with a virtual prototype and to modify it (control), resulting in e↵ective end user-interactions. In two design use-case scenarios, we assessed the enduser experience and satisfaction while using the tool and we also evaluated the impact of the tool on the creative process and the design outcomes. The findings show that, when users are provided with a tool that allows to directly perform design tasks and modify a virtual prototype, as compared to when they have no control, they are more engaged in the design tasks, more satisfied with the design process and they produce more creative outcomes.

“…The importance of evaluating a product already from the early design phases is stressed by many scholars, e.g., [1][2][3][4]. In particular, Arrighi et al [5] hypothesize an improvement of products with consequent saving of resources if final users are involved from the beginning of the design process. A collaborative relationship between designers and users is therefore crucial for the success of a product, and the scholars developed a tool to collect data in a faster and flexible way.…”

Observing Pictures and Videos of Creative Products: An Eye Tracking Study

2020

The paper offers insights into people’s exploration of creative products shown on a computer screen within the overall task of capturing artifacts’ original features and functions. In particular, the study presented here analyzes the effects of different forms of representations, i.e., static pictures and videos. While the relevance of changing stimuli’s forms of representation is acknowledged in both engineering design and human-computer interaction, scarce attention has been paid to this issue hitherto when creative products are in play. Six creative products have been presented to twenty-eight subjects through either pictures or videos in an Eye-Tracking-supported experiment. The results show that major attention is paid by people to original product features and functional elements when products are displayed by means of videos. This aspect is of paramount importance, as original shapes, parts, or characteristics of creative products might be inconsistent with people’s habits and cast doubts about their rationale and utility. In this sense, videos seemingly emphasize said original elements and likely lead to their explanation/resolution. Overall, the outcomes of the study strengthen the need to match appropriate forms of representation with different design stages in light of the needs for designs’ evaluation and testing user experience.
