New Design University Austria The New Design University sees itself in continuous dialogue with the intensive development of society, which should be observed and investigated. Social and technological developments, scientific knowledge and artistic achievements must be comprehended in their interaction in order to develop a conception of the social dynamics. During previous projects within the AAL joint program NDU gathered a high level of experience in leading user requirements engineering work-packages applying the user-centred design development process methodology and using as well the ISO 9241-210 standard for the involvement of end-users for the user requirements engineering studies in these research projects. In particular NDU’s user-inspired innovation process methodology focuses on preferences in technology acceptance, technology use as well as on preferences of end-users for aesthetical and emotional product criteria. For the studies with end-users NDU uses methods of on one side qualitative social research and on the other side methods of design research. The use of such a trans-disciplinary research approach aims at creating a “best of both” research methodology to receive extensive data about the everyday life routines, wishes and demands of the end-users of a project. Furthermore NDU has the capability to contribute to subsequent product design development phases by creating holistic product concepts and mock-ups to ensure the alignment of a technology development which fulfils true end-user needs. In past projects NDU gathered experience in creating design concepts which focus on social connectedness, active ageing and the empowerment of our elderly generation. Moreover NDU has been contributing to the evaluation work-packages in recent research projects. As a scientific partner NDU has additionally a profound expertise in the contribution to dissemination activities to research projects. |
