Structured Scenario-based Design Method

Abstract

This paper introduces “The Structured Scenario-based Design Method”, a design approach where a vision is proposed from an HCD (Human-Centered Design) perspective for use with ubiquitous computing. This method utilizes structured scenarios that are created in order to appropriately incorporate users' intrinsic needs and values into systems/products specifications at an early stage of designing. This paper discusses the method, articulating characteristics, a design process and a few case examples using a tool developed for this particular method.
