A successful product requires synthesizing explicit and tacit knowledge from domain experts to create a solution that is easily produced, meets customer needs, and is financially viable in the marketplace. Ambiguity in product specifications and miscommunications among stakeholders during the early design phases create downstream changes that incur significant financial and engineering costs to re-work. Achieving a common vision across disciplines and employing agile development and prototyping is essential to ensuring delivery of a timely and cost-effective product. Software-based solutions for product design collaboration and prototyping have been explored for traditional product design processes; however the unique characteristics of emerging wearable, pervasive, and internet-of-things products require new solutions. These products tightly couple physical and computation elements to create novel human-computer interactions that constantly sense and adapt to user needs. To create these systems, design teams must simultaneously balance the computational and physical constraints of the design, and understand how users will interact with the product over its life time.The proposed tool, called ?Storycoding? addresses these challenges by providing design teams an accessible sketch-based interface to collaborate and express product ideas for novel pervasive computing products. Storycoding actively interprets a design team's storyboards to ensure relevant computational and user interaction requirements have been specified. Storycoding can automatically generate source code for a product, allowing more rapid prototype generation during the ideation and design phases of product development.

一个成功的产品需要综合领域专家的显性和隐性知识，以创建一个易于生产、满足客户需求并在市场上具有财务可行性的解决方案。在早期设计阶段，产品规格的模糊性和涉众之间的错误沟通会造成下游的变化，从而导致重做的重大财务和工程成本。实现跨学科的共同愿景，并采用敏捷开发和原型设计，对于确保交付及时且具有成本效益的产品至关重要。基于软件的产品设计协作和原型设计解决方案已被探索用于传统的产品设计过程；然而，新兴的可穿戴、普及和物联网产品的独特特性需要新的解决方案。这些产品将物理和计算元素紧密结合在一起，创造出不断感知和适应用户需求的新颖人机交互。为了创建这些系统，设计团队必须同时平衡设计的计算和物理限制，并了解用户在其生命周期内将如何与产品交互。这个被提议的工具叫做？Storycoding吗?通过为设计团队提供可访问的基于草图的界面来解决这些挑战，以便为新颖的普及计算产品进行协作和表达产品想法。故事编码积极地解释设计团队的故事板，以确保指定了相关的计算和用户交互需求。故事编码可以自动生成产品的源代码，允许在产品开发的构思和设计阶段更快速地生成原型。
