This article proposes a new theoretical direction for design ethics, recognizing its significance in today's technology and philosophical debates on what constitutes goodness. Current discussions often overlook these debates, leaving designers in ethical dilemmas without principles to articulate design ethics. We argue for a philosophical and ontol...

- Created a UX writing framework that reflects the characteristics of Korean, where honorific words are developed. - Referenced the interpersonal theory in psychology, utilized the English version of the UX writing framework of Torrey Podmajersky, Google's UX writer, and replaced the relationship between the service and the user with the person-to-...

In this study, we examined the effects of user perception of 3D emojis' facial expressions in regards to levels of likeability and human likeness. To create the scale for measuring realism levels, six 3D emoji face samples were created depending on levels of realism. Based on the results (N = 151), we found that likeability and human likeness were...

Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies are widely used to help non-verbal children enable communication. For AAC-aided communication to be successful, caregivers should support children with consistent intervention strategies in various settings. As such, caregivers need to continuously observe and discuss children’s AAC usag...

This paper introduces Point of View framework to examine design strategies for enriching the audience's emotional connection to information design artifacts. The framework consists of four thematic variations of point of view: perspective, person, mode, principle. The model is intended to accommodate the developing research agenda of exploring the...

The use of chatbots is more common in our everyday lives than ever before. However, few studies have been conducted comparing the differences between text- and voice-input modalities of chatbots in the banking industry. In this study, through empirical and survey-based research, users were shown to rate their relationships with the banking chatbot...

This paper examines the shift in interactive fictions (IF) from traditional hypertext narrative contexts to the recent trend of adapting social media to deliver highly multilinear narratives. While various story creation and distribution tools have been developed over the past 30 years that range in levels of interactivity and sophistication, these...

The authors argue that social interaction and the design-thinking process are keys to divergent thinking because students learn more effectively in a collaborative work environment conducive to social creativity, which can be supported by a systematized design process through teamwork. We hypothesize that foundation courses in a transdisciplinary d...

Human-likeness plays one of the most important roles in the long-term relationship between a robot and human. However, most of the existing studies have not designed human-like imperfection that is frequently observed by humans towards robots or agents. In our research, through questionnaires and interviews, we confirmed that when designing a robot...

In project-based learning (PBL) courses, which are common in design and technology education, instructors regard both the process and the final product to be important. However, conducting an accurate assessment for process feedback is not an easy task because instructors of PBL courses often have to make judgments based on a limited view of group...

This study identifies the features and problems of used car distribution service on both domestic and international levels, in search of improving and differentiating service and process that individuals can conveniently register and make vehicle advertisement on the online vehicle distribution platform. This study also examines how it influences u...

We are now in the era of big data, where a variety of information are overflowing, and the information design's role became quite significant in categorizing and expressing types of data. Proteomics, where millions of protein data are managed, is also in a process of visualizing data, but it still remains in a 2D network form with nodes and edges....

This paper studies interactive media installations of ecological museums. Particularly this research focuses on the domestic ecological museums and how each museum develop its artefact contextually. The first two chapters show the theoretical background of this subject based on literature reviews for methodological approaches using interactive medi...

Even though negative aspects of making use of other’s work, such as illegal appropriation, have been found in online communities, remixing is considered a type of constructive creation for generating and recreating creative works. To make constructive creation via remixing sustainable, it is critical for users to share their own creations and allow...

Recently drivers have greatly benefited from new vehicular technologies such as in-car navigation systems, but at the same time they can be easily distracted from those technologies. Consequently, creating displays that balance the communication of information with the attentional demand imposed on the driver is of increasing importance. A set of r...

As the role of museums has shifted from collection-driven institutions to experience-centred environments, researchers in museology have felt a growing need to understand how visitors experience and engage in exhibitions. Defining design museums as sites of meaning-making through diverse interactions and co-creative experiences, we examine dialogue...

In recent decades, the importance of information visualization has greatly increased in our daily lives, as it has provided a medium through which to analyze, explore, and express the meanings of datasets. Although much current research has been devoted to addressing the process and various types of visualization, information visualization still la...

Kinetic typography has been suggested to express emotions in computer-mediated communication (CMC) by empowering static texts with dynamic attributes, where conversations occur primarily in text-based forms. In this work, we investigate whether pre-defined kinetic typography effects are capable of delivering emotions, and further, which specific at...

As society becomes increasingly saturated with information, the design of that information becomes ever more important. However, rather than reinforcing the agency of the user, many information design products limit one's possibilities for action. Take bus route maps (Figure 1), for instance. No problems emerge when looking at each bus route separa...

Assessment of difficulties within group processes, especially through automatic means, is a problem of great interest to the broader CSCL community. Group difficulties can be revealed through interaction processes that occur during group work. Whether these patterns are encoded in speech recorded from face-to-face interactions or in text from on-li...

The use of system diagrams has encouraged information designers to tacitly consider the holistic context. However, because the traditional understanding about the nature of systems has been highly focused on the arrangement of components within a static model, users' experience is considered little. The goal of this research is to provide a theoret...

Project course instructors routinely perform their formal assessments based on impressions formed from their mostly indirect experience with the groups they oversee. Nevertheless, even with their limited vantage point, instructors trust their ability to make assessments and regulate group work. In this paper we present a 5 dimensional assessment fr...
