Pluriverse design - Meet your buddy through scents

In recent years, designers have started to research how complex social justice issues could be handled through embodied interaction design and co-creation. Having users engage explicitly with the material, interactive artifacts re-direct and re-orient users’ focus to raise voices for social issues. This report describes a project that aims to inspire future work in embracing multicultural contexts as a part of pluriverse design. The report consists of literature support in terms of problem framing, descriptions of co-design method and its reflections, and the development of the interactive prototype. Through re-orientation with crafting space for users to explore the flow of information, the interactive prototype adds layers to inspire users to embrace pluriverse in cultural contexts.

Abstract

In recent years, designers have started to research how complex social justice issues could be handled through embodied interaction design and co-creation. Having users engage explicitly with the material, interactive artifacts re-direct and re-orient users’ focus to raise voices for social issues. This report describes a project that aims to inspire future work in embracing multicultural contexts as a part of pluriverse design. The report consists of literature support in terms of problem framing, descriptions of co-design method and its reflections, and the development of the interactive prototype. Through re-orientation with crafting space for users to explore the flow of information, the interactive prototype adds layers to inspire users to embrace pluriverse in cultural contexts.
