Abstract
The amount of information technology in our everyday lives is increasing
and getting more and more ambient in our daily environments. The
environments are supposed to be intelligent, adaptive, intuitive and
interactive in the future. User participation for future concept
building is essential, but challenging, when designing appliances that
might be unfamiliar in their appearance, functionality and
impressiveness compared to the user’s current everyday life. New
allocated methods and viewpoints are needed for user experience design
and evaluation of intelligent environments to build systems that
naturally support the users in their daily life. We present interactive
scenario building together with potential users (including role-playing,
drama and improvisational aspects) as one promising tool for early
concept definition phase.
