Abstract

Current research in domestic technology focuses on a subset of the breadth of values that may be present in the domestic environment. In this paper, we present one possible method for conveying a larger potential breadth of user values between families and designers. We describe the ways that we tailored cultural probes specifically for values elicitation as well as the results of both families' and designers' interactions with the probes. We also draw from the social psychology research of Milton Rokeach, whose framework for values was used to scaffold designers in foregrounding user values in domestic design.

Values-led Participatory Design as a Pursuit of Meaningful Alternatives
OzCHI '15: Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Australian Special Interest Group for Computer Human Interaction

Participatory Design (PD) is inherently concerned with inquiring into and supporting human values when designing IT. We argue that a PD approach that is led by a focus upon participants' values can allow participants to discover meaningful alternatives -...
The problem of defining values for design: a lack of common ground between industry and academia?

The HCI community recognizes the importance of value-centric design methodologies as reflected in the number of publications on the topic in recent years. However, the adoption of these methodologies by industry has been slower than desirable. This ...
