Abstract

This paper describes a user-centered concept development process especially suitable for emerging technologies. The process consists of four phases: 1) Definition of development goals, 2) User and technology research, 3) Iterative concept development and 4) Process wrap-up. Our variation of concept development process differs from prior ones by having a stronger emphasis on technology framework surrounding the concept development. The findings are gathered from 16 cases during the last three years in research projects and post-graduate courses.
