Towards an approach for novel design

We contrast the design of traditional technology with the design of new technology. Gathering from our experience, we argue that traditional HCI design techniques are not directly applicable to the design of new technology. We review some of these techniques and show how they should be adapted to be used in the context of novel design. As part of this discussion, we show that user input in the process of novel design should come at a much later stage than for traditional design. Lastly, we suggest a process for novel design where these techniques are applied and re-interpreted
