Hello!
And welcome to this presentation on Value Driven
Design for Playful Technology Enhanced 4 0:00:08.160,0:00:12.960 5 identified core values in a design process --> 6 and how these values influenced the designing, 7 My name is Jon Back --> 8 and this paper was written by me together with Karin Johansson and Joacim Wirebrand.
In the project we worked with 10 0:00:25.760,0:00:27.840 11 0:00:27.840,0:00:30.080 12 0:00:30.080,0:00:35.680 13 teaching nature values through playful design, 14 And Drakryggen --> an IT consultancy that explicitly 15 state their employees should have 10% of their time allocated to bettering the world.
And, when I say universities, companies,
and a municipally this is not just 18 0:00:50.160,0:00:56.000 19 and what values we worked with in the project, 20 When it comes to municipalities and other public organisations
it might be obvious that these are 22 0:01:02.800,0:01:07.200 23 implementation of a political system, 24 But in this work --> we also worked deliberately 25 with values from the other partners --> the companies and the universities.
But as always when presenting design work, by now, 27 0:01:19.280,0:01:23.200 28 installations, One small hut --> 29 that resembles a bird house, And two big “eggs”. 30 All three installations share a similar technology,
consisting of speakers, lights and touch sensors.
In the eggs the light and touch sensors 33 0:01:37.280,0:01:41.120 34 can be touched and change color, 35 In the hut --> the lights are places as spotlights in the roof, and the touch
placed in stools on the floor, basically turing 37 0:01:52.240,0:01:57.040 38 and to each other --> making it possible to program 39 and re-program them as individual installations or as installations that work together.
For example, the eggs can turn on 41 0:02:06.000,0:02:14.160 42 making it into a case of hunting the dot, 43 Or as in one of the other programs --> each sensor is connected to a note,
and when you touch the sensor, the note is played, 45 0:02:24.320,0:02:27.600 46 ongoing project in Linköping --> 47 where they wanted to remake one of their playgrounds.
As this is at least partly a value 49 0:02:33.680,0:02:36.320 50 0:02:36.320,0:02:40.960 51 can everybody have a say?) --> or 52 to inclusion (how can everybody use an area --> even if part of a minority, or having a disability)?
We approach this by trying to explicate 54 0:02:51.600,0:02:56.160 55 We initially identified societal values 56 from project goals --> stakeholder aims and values carried by the involved companies and researchers,
turning this into a list of 58 0:03:05.520,0:03:11.440 59 core values were used to inform design choices, 60 But also --> design ideas were used to inform and develop the core values,
never treating either as completely finished.
It’s important to note that these values 63 0:03:22.400,0:03:27.280 64 other, By adapting and trying to understand both 65 values --> and the design, we could balance these values against both each other and the design.
We will here give one concrete example 67 0:03:37.680,0:03:41.680 68 the need for children to make the playground 69 their own, To empower them and make them feel as an important part of the public environment.
This category is based in such basic principals as
the municipality’s view on democracy 72 0:03:53.600,0:03:56.800 73 values such as ‘variation’ --> 74 which informed the design process in a way that created many different types of play scenarios,
encouraging different types of play activities.
It also contains ‘changeability’, the 77 0:04:09.760,0:04:15.040 78 and to open up this possibility to children --> 79 giving them some of the power of saying how the place should work.
So, in conclusion,
We argue that societal values can be concretely 82 0:04:26.400,0:04:30.400 83 having societal values in mind --> 84 and using them as a design tool --> especially in public settings.
This is a process that of course is highly
dependent on active participation of 87 0:04:42.160,0:04:47.120 88 work may in themselves be inspirational rather 89 than prescriptive --> the more important takeaway from this work is how we let these values
influence the whole process, and how both values 91
