ABSTRACT
This demo will invite attendees to experience a novel technique of Participatory Design Fiction, which uses storytelling to elicit users' ideas for new kinds of wearable IoT devices, starting from a blank slate. The demo will also feature the Gallery Necklace technology probe, an IoT-enabled neckpiece with an ePaper display, which is the first design artifact of the study so far. Overall, this demo will illuminate how Participatory Design Fiction can give insight into what users really want from wearable computing.

PDFi: participatory design fiction with vulnerable users
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionTraditional user-centred design processes frequently marginalize vulnerable users. Their perspectives are thus not well represented in discussions of the future of the medicines and technologies on which they rely. We present PDFi, a method that ...
The role of design fiction in participatory design processes
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionParticipatory design is in essence very malleable as any design technique could lend itself to it, as long as users and stakeholders are involved. Design fictions however, have more often been used as either a vehicle for critical designs, or as a sheer ...
Participatory Design Fiction: Community Storytelling for Speculative Urban Technologies
CHI EA '18: Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis video was produced as part of the participatory speculative design project "Sankofa City." The project engages community residents to design emerging technologies (e.g. augmented reality, ubicomp, and self-driving cars) tied to their cultural ...
