Abstract:
The most common design process in the interaction design industry is user research-concept design-prototype testing. This process can help designers to identify target users, design products, and services. However many students have trouble applying the results of user research to improve their design using this process. The Hunan Univ.-Nokia joint curriculum aims to improve this by combining fast concept design and user research into a single process. This new process features immersive teaching and individual-team alternating iterative method, which solves the problem without sacrificing the creativity of the student.
