COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Extreme Experience Design for Breaking Barriers to Innovation (0825461/0825713)Katja Hölttä-Otto (PI, UMass-Dartmouth), Carolyn Conner Seepersad (PI, UT Austin), Art Markman (Co-PI, UT Austin)The research objective of this award is to establish a structured conceptual design methodology, called Extreme Experience Design (EED), that stimulates innovation of breakthrough products by engaging designers in extreme experiences as part of concept generation. Extreme experiences expose the designer(s) to modified physical usage environments (e.g., moisture or noise) or altered means of interacting with the product physically, cognitively, or sensorially (e.g., limited dexterity via gloves or limited hearing via earplugs). These experiences are designed to help designers empathize with customers under a variety of conditions, and thereby design for the types of context-related latent needs that lead to breakthrough products. A series of experiments is planned to design and refine the EED methodology, to investigate its effectiveness, and to better understand how a designer's pre-ideation experiences affect the results of conceptual design. A two-phased Design of Experiments approach will be used to test the effectiveness of the EED methodology. The first phase will be designed to investigate the impact of extreme experiences and designer-prototype interaction, together and separately, on the outcomes of the conceptual design process. The second phase will be designed to investigate more closely whether different types of extreme experiences lead to different types of innovation.If successful, the results of this research will provide fundamental knowledge of the effects of extreme experiences and designer-prototype interaction on design fixation and a designer's ability to innovate. The knowledge will be incorporated in a new conceptual design approach, EED, that has the potential to enhance designers' abilities to generative innovative concepts by engaging them in pre-ideation, extreme experiences. Also, the proposed research is expected to have significant broader impacts. Research will be transferred from the laboratories to K-12 students, university students, industry, and the general public by means of online resources, outreach programs, industry interaction, and improved capabilities for universal design that improves quality of life.

合作研究：打破创新壁垒的极致体验设计（0825461/0825713）Katja Hölttä-Otto（PI，麻省大学达特茅斯分校），卡罗琳康纳Seepersad（PI，UT奥斯汀），艺术马克曼（Co-PI，UT Austin）该奖项的研究目标是建立一种结构化的概念设计方法，称为极端体验设计（EED），作为概念生成的一部分，通过让设计师参与极端体验来刺激突破性产品的创新。极端体验使设计师面临修改后的物理使用环境（例如，湿气或噪音）或改变与产品在物理上、认知上或感觉上相互作用的方式（例如，通过手套的有限灵活性或通过耳塞的有限听力）。这些体验旨在帮助设计师在各种条件下与客户产生共鸣，从而针对与情境相关的潜在需求进行设计，从而实现突破性产品。一系列的实验计划设计和完善的EED方法，调查其有效性，并更好地了解设计师的前构思经验如何影响概念设计的结果。一个两阶段的实验设计方法将被用来测试EED方法的有效性。第一阶段的设计将调查极端的经验和设计师原型的相互作用，共同和单独的影响，概念设计过程的结果。 第二阶段将更深入地研究不同类型的极端体验是否会导致不同类型的创新，如果成功，本研究的结果将为极端体验和设计师-原型互动对设计固定和设计师创新能力的影响提供基础知识。 这些知识将被纳入一个新的概念设计方法，EED，有可能提高设计师的能力，通过让他们在预构思，极端的经验，生成创新的概念。此外，拟议的研究预计将产生重大的更广泛的影响。 研究将从实验室转移到K-12学生，大学生，工业和公众通过在线资源，外展计划，行业互动，并提高通用设计的能力，提高生活质量。
