Abstract

This workshop will explore how defamiliarization - a process of slowing down perception - can be exploited as a bridge between usability and innovation. This workship will investigate: 1) how to use defamiliarization to support innovation; 2) how to evaluate defamiliarization by means of user testing; and 3) reflection around the creation of design guidelines specific to defamiliarization.
