Topic: Looking for Tangibility in Human-Centered Design
Speaker: Dr. Guy Boy
About the Presentation:
During the 20th century, mechanical engineering was the grounding discipline in engineering; then electronics and computer science progressively penetrated mechanics. We moved from hardware to software. We automated. A new discipline was born, cognitive engineering for the analysis of how people deal with automation. Since the beginning of the 21st century, almost everything is designed and further developed on computers, from using PowerPoint to sophisticated simulations, before building concrete systems. We moved from software to hardware. Ultimately, we will soon 3D print software cars, aircraft and homes. Virtual engineering supports design to the point that we can easily run human-in-the-loop simulations, and therefore test safety, efficiency, comfort, usability and usefulness at design time. Tangibility has become the new emerging issue. Can we assess tangibility during the design process before product delivery? This book presents the new endeavor of tangible interactive systems (TISs), as well as both facets of tangibility: physical (grasping an object) and figurative (grasping a concept). How can human-centered designers grasp the real world with computers? This question is tentatively answered along several dimensions such as innovation, complexity, flexibility, maturity, stability, sustainability and art. Creativity, design thinking and team spirit are the central pieces of TIS's human-centered design, and are presented together with human-systems integration (HSI), agile development and formative evaluations.
