TAPT and contextmapping: understanding how we understand experience

TAPT and contextmapping: understanding how we understand experience
TAPT and contextmapping: understanding how we understand experience
TAPT (Teasing Apart, Piecing Together) and contextmapping are cross-disciplinary methods for understanding people's experiences, in order to build better products and services. While TAPT concerns understanding and redesigning experiences, contextmapping is an approach for accessing laypeople's tacit knowledge to support design. TAPT was presented in its early stages at IF'09 and demonstrated in the context of educational gaming at IF'10. This lightning talk describes and compares the two methods and their relevance to both technical and humanities domains, with examples drawn from Computer Science, Industrial Design and Archeology. After a brief overview of the two methods, the talk will address the following questions: * Do TAPT and contextmapping result in the same key insights? * Is one method easier to use than the other? * When is it better to use one over the other?

Abstract

TAPT (Teasing Apart, Piecing Together) and contextmapping are cross-disciplinary methods for understanding people's experiences, in order to build better products and services. While TAPT concerns understanding and redesigning experiences, contextmapping is an approach for accessing laypeople's tacit knowledge to support design. TAPT was presented in its early stages at IF'09 and demonstrated in the context of educational gaming at IF'10. This lightning talk describes and compares the two methods and their relevance to both technical and humanities domains, with examples drawn from Computer Science, Industrial Design and Archeology. After a brief overview of the two methods, the talk will address the following questions: * Do TAPT and contextmapping result in the same key insights? * Is one method easier to use than the other? * When is it better to use one over the other?
