Vision-Proposal Design Method

The "Vision-proposal Design Method" discussed in this paper is a practical method for designing in an age of ubiquitous computing. This comprehensive method makes possible new and innovative services, systems and products that are currently unavailable, as well as proposing advances for those that currently exist. It encompasses the entire HCD (Human-Centered Design) process, and presents a new vision with experiential value for both user and business from an HCD viewpoint. It creates specific ideas for services, systems and products while also delivering their specifications. This paper reviews evaluation results of its utility and effectiveness through a brief summary of the method with examples of its application.
