We have developed User Enactments to help support design teams in more successfully
investigating radical alterations to technologies' roles, forms and behaviors in uncharted
design spaces. To date, no work exists that explicitly unpacks the practical development of a
cohesive set of user enactments. Interest is growing in the method with its recent inclusion in
a popular design method handbook for practitioners and also as it becomes integrated into

We have developed User Enactments to help support design teams in more successfully investigating radical alterations to technologies' roles, forms and behaviors in uncharted design spaces. To date, no work exists that explicitly unpacks the practical development of a cohesive set of user enactments. Interest is growing in the method with its recent inclusion in a popular design method handbook for practitioners and also as it becomes integrated into graduate-level university curriculum in interaction design. The contribution of this Pictorial is to unpack the thinking and making behind a set of user enactments through visual documentation and annotations.
