Tools
Bodystorming
Through physical action and acting out an idea using role-play, ideas and concepts can be tested more quickly. How the members from the design team or recruited participants react to scenarios can be noted, for example, how they behave, what intuitive actions they made or how they felt. Furthermore, the acting out of different situations can provide instant ergonomic and phsychological comfort information.
SEGIT
The set of tools are subjective psychological exploration and projection techniques for characterising user experience in a deep and detailed way; to be used as a set of inspirational, concept generation and evaluation tools to design user’s experience. The aim is to provide guidance/ideas of means of assessing user experience and ways of analysing the complex area of users’ individual and subjective experience in the users’ own words, to help designers obtain a correct understanding of users’ requirements.
