Hello fellow Chicagoans,
Please join us on Wednesday, Sep 10th for our next Chicago IxDA gathering! Polly Greathouse will be presenting a talk on remote research titled Cultural Probes. Here is a summary below: Remote research techniques to empower people to share what really matters, just in time When we need to understand real-time, deeply personal experiences observing from a distance adds value to research. Businesses, design planners and product designers hunger for revelations about what people really do and why they do it. By taking the researcher out of the experience, remote personal dialog is less constrained. Hopes, fears and dreams emerge in relation to the context we weave into the research kits. This presentation will offer examples of remote research Cultural Probes used in commercial and academic projects. We will show how insights gathered by subjects on their own time with provocative and targeted stimuli generate profoundly rich and grounded design criteria. Background on the technique will show how playful artifacts, tangential questioning, journaling and rituals circumvent obvious responses and reveal deeper channels for conversation in follow-up interviews and analysis.
