Design Process at HCIL

Design Process at HCIL: "How we design new technologies has a profound effect on what these new technologies ultimately can be. Each time we make decisions about the design process, the final product or research can dramatically change. The design process of technology is as much a part of our research at the HCIL as the actual technologies we make. Our research here is concerned with how we can bring users into the design process. We see the role of users as everything from active partners, to inspectors or testers, to research participants that are observed and/or interviewed. We are exploring these roles with users as a way to better understand and shape the technology design process for the future. "
