Today’s lecture • Reflection • Steal, steal… SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 2

Design studio 3 • Design a digital desk, cubicle, and wall for software developers • This is to be a new product in an office furniture companies’ product line • Given the enormous software development industry, they want to specifically target software developers SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 3

Design studio 3 • The company wants a design of the furniture (integration of technology with furniture) • The company wants a design of the software – application design – interaction design – architecture design • The company wants this to be feasible, and integrate well with existing software development environments • The company wants it to provide a cutting edge experience that builds on novel yet useful functionality SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 4

Design studio 3 – homework • Work through all cards in each category – you may respond “not applicable” to some – you should use your network! • Bring two copies of each sheet, bundled together – they have to be legible • Bring back the box of envisioning cards – in its original shape – with all cards • Bring your laptops SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 5

Reflection • How useful were the cards? SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 6

Reflection • How many of you divided up the cards? SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 7

Reflection • Who was in your “network” that you talked to? SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 8

Reflection • How useful was it to talk to your “network”? SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 9

Reflection • What did you learn from your “network” that you had not thought about? SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 10

Reflection • Overall, how would you rate your understanding of the design problem ahead of you? SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 11

Reflection • Overall, how would you rate your understanding of possible solutions? SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 12

Design studio 3 – today • It is time to “steal”, that is, find out what has already been done, what already is known, and what future circumstances may look like • Use your laptop, surf, and bookmark SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 13

Design studio 3 – possible directions to search • What does the future of furniture look like? • What does the future of display technology look like? • What does a software developer’s physical work environment look like? • What tasks do software developers engage in? • What software components could you use? • … SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 14

Design studio 3 – possible places to search • Vendor shows • Trade literature • Research literature • New technology forums • Corporate web sites • … SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 15

Design studio 3 – homework • For each of the five questions (and others as you like), provide three findings that you think will influence your design – what does the future of furniture look like? – what does the future of display technology look like? – what does a software developer’s physical work environment look like? – what tasks do software developers engage in? – what software components could you use? • Describe the findings, where you found them, and why you think they will influence your design SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 16

Design studio 3 – homework • This is an individual assignment • Hand in on Tuesday SDCL Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory Department of Informatics, UC Irvine sdcl. ics. uci. edu 17
