RE-FLEX

A technology and expertise resource centre combining Lund University, the Technical Faculty

(LTH) and Lund University Hospital working for the benefit of society in the Skåne and Öresund regions

where the focus is on people, democracy and solving real-world

problems.


Finding the most appropriate technologyfor the users and the task.


Usability

Flexibility

Diversity

Collaboration

A Central Resource for the Region


The Full Scale Modelling Lab(which can also be used for other scale models as well...)


Design @ Work

• Multidisciplinary Research Group– Architecture, Design, Drama, Psychology,

Informatics, Ergonomics, Computer Science, Human Computer Interaction, Participatory Design

• Formed about 7 years ago• Active until about 2 years ago• Less active now, but still talking to each

other• New projects to continue from previous work


Working in the Fullscale Lab


Participatory Design

• Involving all the people connected to a design change (end users)

• Tacit Knowledge• Communities of Practice• Design by doing• Supporting Collaboration and

Communication


Envisionment Workshop

• A toolbox with various tools and methods of usage for participatory design

• Full Scale Modelling, Drama, Virtual Reality, Democratic Meeting Techniques

• Integration of the tools


Aims

• To further improve the integration of the physical models with the virtual environments.

• To use and refine this new tool through real design situations.


Object

• Sege Park, an area of Malmö with existing buildings and a park-like feeling that is to be preserved.

• Situation: a gentrification of the area is in progress with renovations and new buildings being discussed and built.


Methodology

• A Case Study• Iterative Prototyping• User Centered Design• Prototype testing through real

situations• Observations• Feedback from the test subjects


Technology

• Wood, Cardboard, Paper, Glue

• VICON Optical Tracking System– Modified for rigid body tracking

• Virtual Reality System with double projectors and Passive Stereo Capabilities


Testing a prototype


Preliminary Results


Conclusions

• And future work• Where to now?
