This week had no seminars, instead we listened on two lectures. The first one was with Eva-Lotta Sallnäs and she told us about her research in haptic interfaces and how it could improve social presence. She explained how they designed their research and about concepts ad critiques. It was interesting to not only read about, but actually have someone explained and show photos about how the research was implemented.
The other one was with Haibo Li. His lecture focused around five topics; how to come up with an idea, how to filter the idea, how to validate the idea, how to evaluate the idea and how to communicate the idea.
One thing he told us about when it comes to problem solving, is the importance of defining a problem. He told us a story about a student and the professor who is hunted by a bear and the student asked the following question: how to outrun a bear?. The fact is that there is no way for a human being to outrun a bear. But the problem in reality is that the student just want to outrun the bear so he would not be eaten. But if the bear catches the professor first, he will survive. So the question then become like this: How to outrun the professor?.
He talked about his own rule about defining and solving the problem, and called it 10+90. 10% of the time needs to be focused on defining the problem so the problem can be solved in the best way.
Then he continued with the importance of math when solving media technology problems, and using the usability definitions when evaluating a media technology ideas.
