We are seeking design consultancy partners within Europe to form a consortium on this theme, so as to provide new integrated insights to help designers in their projects. The focus concerns consumer goods, automotive, consumer electronics, appliances, software. Design creation and/or design research partners would be involved in the preparation, demonstrations concerning consumer packaging, durable products and eventually software. The outcome will produce some designer user friendly insights interface to be used alongside design programs, to integrate a community insights knowledge base, also using: - quantitative small sampling techniques, which we could call dynamic sampling - qualitative techniques, semiotics, observation studies - insight ready expertise from experts We are considering an open sharing model where design executions would remain confidential. Shared knowledge should help designers benefit from more numerous and wider experiences. The design executions would be firstly graphically semantically read to offer designer insight friendly guidance, and when consumer test demands requested, feedback would enable designer to reorient or adapt creations, also enrich insights knowledge base. Some further explanations are on: http://1wr.net/research/WallMuse%20Design%20Insights.ppt Demonstrations are subsidized and we will assist for administrative parts. If you are interested to participate, please send me a one page presentation of your company and yourself.
Thanks Alexandre
