Storytelling Tools in Support of User Experience Design
CHI EA '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Storytelling has been proposed as an intuitive way to support communication in user experience design. With story-based thinking, designers can gain a better understanding of the potential user experience, developing and discussing design ideas within an ...

Reviews

Reviewer: James Edward Tomayko

One of the most frustrating things for any computer user is when the machine or its software seems to have a mind of its own, and does not do what the user wants. Erickson has found a way to explore this situation in order to reduce these disjunctive events to a minimum: stories. He encourages potential users of new systems to tell stories of their experiences with unpredictable computers, and uses these stories to help shape design features of new systems. Erickson might consider a change in title from “Design as Storytelling” to “Design Using Storytelling,” but otherwise this short piece is an excellent addition to the all-too -sparse literature on growing systems rather than trying to birth them whole from an inflexible specification.
