Statement
Products strive
to improve the value of people's lives; they might also give various
kinds of value to the maker. The value that things achieve depends on
many successes, but without formal evaluations, what made them succeed
or fail may never be known.
Design cycles might start with our intuitions about human capabilities.
Intuitions need to be tested. This workshop will celebrate objective
experiments as a powerful tool in design.
We talk about our inspirations, write them, create prototypes, and
declare victory. As a consequence of technology getting more complex,
the specifics of its uses become more brittle; usually things we think
will work need reality checks.
This meeting will discuss current work case studies of evaluation
demonstrating value for design. Case studies will primarily be taken
from the Voting Technology research and Counter Intelligence research at
the Media Lab.
Invitation

impact the value of product design research
