010 | Bodystorming |
Brainstorming and spontaneous prototyping through dynamic physical experience and role-play
- Designers immerse themselves in user situations through simulated contexts while paying close attention to decisions, interactive experiences, and emotional responses.
- Concept ideas can be integrated and tested in play, and the active situation can inspire the spontaneous creation of new product and service concepts.
- Bodystorming prototypes use simple constructions and props at hand: for example, cardboard, boxes, existing objects, furniture, and lighting manipulations.
- While scenarios may be partially scripted from observations, the bodystorm encourages improvisation to capture real-world experiences.
- The method may be contained within design teams but can also engage a wider audience of peers or clients, inviting response and dialogue.
