Exploration of workshop utilization possibilities for lead user search for small rough terrain mobile vehicles

Abstract

We examine the use of workshops as a method to determine the first "empathy" target in design thinking for new technologies. An idea sheet was developed as a material for defining the "empathy" target, and its effectiveness was confirmed through a trial workshop. As a result, in addition to the new index of "concreteness," we found the possibility of determining the object of "empathy" from the participants' behavior during the workshop.
