Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how the immersion into a real-world user context influences design students’ design inspiration and mood improvement. To this aim, the present study analyzed the perception of 16 design students who immersed themselves into a dance studio and compared it with the external evaluation of 74 professional designers. Results indicate that (a) design students can attribute the immersion experience to multiple stimulus sources; (b) the mood improvement and design inspiration induced by the immersion experience predict their satisfaction level; and (c) the design inspiration induced by the immersion experience can be recognized by external observers. These findings can be harnessed for leveraging designers’ user research effectiveness by embedding it in an immersion experience.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Design Creativity and Innovation is an international publication that provides a forum for discussing the nature and potential of creativity and innovation in design from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Design creativity and innovation is truly an interdisciplinary academic research field that will interest and stimulate researchers of engineering design, industrial design, architecture, art, and similar areas. The journal aims to not only promote existing research disciplines but also pioneer a new one that lies in the intermediate area between the domains of systems engineering, information technology, computer science, social science, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and related fields. The journal covers, but is not restricted to, the following topics: ·Theories on Design Creativity and Innovation ·Cognition of Design Creativity ·Innovative Process ·Inventive Process ·Analogical Reasoning for Design Creativity and Innovation ·Design Synthesis ·Method and Tools for Design Creativity and Innovation ·Representation of Design Creativity and Innovation ·Education for Design Creativity and Innovation ·Concept Generation and Inspiration.
