Designed for Designer: An Online Co-design Workshop

One fundamental challenge for designing the human-machine interface of the future is to understand users' needs. This online form provides the possibility to expand the scope of recruitment. The setting of workshops can maximize the enthusiasm of designers, deeply explore their computer usage behavior and habits, and verify previous user research results. This paper reports on a study iterating the use of an online co-design workshop that recruited designers (n = 30) for computer and laptop design. The online workshop has three phases: exploring, brainstorming, and designing with useful toolkits. Finally, the research team collected 88 interaction design solutions to improve the designer's user experience when using the computer. Future work will look in-depth, reorganize, and redesign these solutions and test them in a real working context.
