Abstract

Designing can be viewed as a body of behaviors. Fundamental to several design behaviors is Path Determination. Path Determination describes the moments when designers choose what they will take up for development as well as how they experience their perceptual horizon.
Our research suggests that there are two primary modes of Path Determination, Wayfinding and Navigation. Each of these has been correlated with different outcomes in redesign scenarios. Wayfinding correlates to making significant changes to an object, while navigation correlates to making incremental changes to an object.
In this chapter, I present a novel methodology for capturing and observing Wayfinding and Navigation behaviors, as well as several metrics for measuring these behaviors.
