Title: Gaining entry to real settings with a bridging design prototype
Author(s): Gomez, Gloria
Abstract: This paper introduces the Bridging Design Prototype (BDP) concept. A BDP is the functional prototype of a new product that a user community can incorporate into their activities, while a researcher uses it for observation and testing. Due to limited research resources, the BDP was an outcome of adjusting the principles of several user-centred design methods and a learning theory. These principles where then applied to the development of a suitable product that could be incorporated in real settings.
