Abstract

This paper takes up Scenario Based Design (Rosson & Carroll, 2003) and Micro Scenario Method (Kurosu, 2006), and analyzed the both methodological scenario making processes. In Scenario Based Design, the four making steps are proposed: (1) problem scenario, (2) activity scenario, (3) information scenario, and (4) interaction scenario. In addition, Micro Scenario Method developed two steps of scenario making: (1) problem micro scenario, and (2) solution micro scenario. These methodologies are useful when we consider the human centered design for making products. However, in a pragmatic use case, especially for product designers, it is difficult to visualize the images and ideas taken from the Scenario Based Design and Micro Scenario Method. Based on our analysis, we proposed a new method that is development of scenario method and visual formats for Design Process. The feature of this method is to draw rough sketch and illustration to describe the ideas. Hence, the question which we must consider next is usefulness of this method. Here, we conduct a experiment for testing the programmatic applicability of our proposed method.
