Designing for pleasure is different approach than designing for utility
\nDesigning for utility is different approach
\nPleasure is best with empathy, passion, humor<\/p>\n
> This is a strangely narrow interpretation of pleasure: pleasure can be through rigor, surprise, change, familiarity, difference, etc..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
> I suggest that utility and pleasure are interchangeable: something is not easily used if it causes displeasure. (We’re going to except here the circumstances where frustration is the goal of a “product.”) The well-balanced hammer is designed for utility and, one could argue, for pleasure. The sense of the dropped weight in each end of the product gives rise to to a more optimal\u2013read: easier\u2013use.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Cultural probes: design-led approach to understanding users through empathy and engagement
\n– knowledge has limits
\n– values uncertainty, play, exploration, subjective interpretation<\/strong><\/p>\nTowards knowing your audience…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Designing for friends: “we know them well, but that doesn’t mean we know exactly what we should make for them” (6).<\/p>\n
> Important to recall that when we “know” the\u00a0“audience,” there are still possibilities of their having interpretations (or actions) that we could not have predicted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Probes: “collections of materials posing tasks to which people respond over time.<\/p>\n
Probology: uses probes to encourage sujective engagement, empathetic interpretation, and a pervasive sense of uncertainty as possible values for design.<\/p>\n
> I like this phrase: pervasive sense of uncertainty. I would not aim for this, at least not in my following work, but returning to Forlizzi and Battarbee, this would fit into choices over what elements I provide that are fluent experiences, and which would present uncertainty through a cognitive experience. How much do I want my audience working mid-experience to figure it out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
