Design Fiction as Breaching Experiment: An Interdisciplinary Methodology for Understanding the Acceptability and Adoption of Future Technologies
<|reference_start|>Design Fiction as Breaching Experiment: An Interdisciplinary Methodology for Understanding the Acceptability and Adoption of Future Technologies: HCI is fundamentally occupied with the problem of the future and understanding the acceptability and adoption challenges that future and emerging technologies face from the viewpoint of their being situated in everyday life. This paper explicates an interdisciplinary approach towards addressing the problem and understanding acceptability and adoption challenges that leverages design fiction as breaching experiment. Design fiction is an arts based approach to exploring the future, breaching experiments a social science method for explicating common sense reasoning and surfacing the taken for granted expectations societys members have and hold about situated action and how it should work. Both approaches have previously been employed in HCI, but this the first time they have been combined to enable HCI researchers to provoke through design the acceptability and adoption challenges that confront future and emerging technologies.<|reference_end|>
