Participant Evaluation of SFprototyping Using a Skit

Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the number and amount of statements made during discussions in SF prototyping and the magnitude of actions in the skit part. SF prototyping is a backcasting method in which future ideas are created through the discussion process of creating science fiction. It is believed that this method can generate original ideas and activate participants. However, there are still few indicators to measure the results and participants' immersion in SF prototyping. Therefore, this study analyzed participants' behavior during skits based on plots created after SF prototyping and discussions during SF prototyping. The results of the analysis showed that the more people said during the discussion, the smaller their movements during the skit.
