Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of 'design fiction probes', critical narratives to elicit open-ended responses from potential future users of proposed technologies. Inspired and guided by academic literature, such a fictional narrative allows the reader to explore potential consequences of the use of technologies before they actually exist. The method is illustrated by a design fiction on the topic of smart houses and their potential applications for chronic conditions, such as dementia. Based on constant monitoring and automated responses, these technologies have been criticized on ethical grounds. As these devices are not yet widely commercially available, little is known about their real-world impact. By bringing together what is known to write a fictional account from acquisition to end of use, the design fiction can be used both for research or the design process. Potential uses are presented within this paper.
生活之家:设计小说探索
本文介绍了“设计虚构探针”的概念,批判性叙述以引出拟议技术的潜在未来用户的开放式回应。在学术文献的启发和指导下,这种虚构的叙述允许读者在技术实际存在之前探索使用技术的潜在后果。该方法通过一个关于智能住宅及其对慢性疾病(如痴呆症)的潜在应用的设计小说来说明。基于持续监测和自动反应,这些技术在伦理上受到了批评。由于这些设备尚未广泛商用,人们对它们在现实世界中的影响知之甚少。通过将从购买到使用结束的已知内容整合在一起,设计虚构既可以用于研究也可以用于设计过程。本文提出了该方法的潜在用途。
