Listening to the user's voice: Designing a museum application for children with autism
Magkafa, D; Newbutt, N
Abstract
This study seeks to understand the design requirements reported by two autistic groups by co-designing an ‘app’ with the aim of delivering a meaningful museum experience. The objective of engaging an autistic group in the co-design is due to a lack of literature in the field exploring the preferences of interface design used by this group. The study undertook a series of co-design sessions involving two groups of children diagnosed with autism (aged between 11 and 15) in the hope of interpreting their special interests. The iterative process of using different PD techniques such as storyboards, drawings and low-tech prototypes contributed to actively involving the users within the design procedure.
