Synchronous-asynchronous distributed co-design: combining an Authoring Tool with Design Thinking resources
Keywords:
Distributed Co-design, Authoring Tool, Design Thinking, Mobile Games, Co-creationAbstract
Distributed work has been increasing more and more in recent years. However, the recent pandemic has caused many teams that were used to co-design in-situ to quickly move to distributed virtual environments; thus generating different challenges and impacting the way in which problems were being approached. This article presents an authoring tool that allows co-design mobile games based on positioning in indoor spaces in a distributed way. Furthermore,a conceptual framework for co-design of this kind of games is defined, which allows combining the authoring tool with Design Thinking resources. Using this framework, three distributed co-design experiences with synchronous and asynchronous activities are described; which allow exploring different ways of using software artifacts in co-design approaches. In addition, a discussion space is presented with some lessons learned and reflections on the subject.
