A discourse on the selection of tools for capturing and analysing mm design activity is presented. Issues including design activity as data and the validity of self-reportage/analysis are discussed. Candidate data collection tools are compared, with participant observation, action research and diaries as preferred choices. The empirical development of a diary to Capture industrial design practice is presented. The diary, is found to be effective in eliciting specific elements of own design activity amenable to verbal articulation (e.g. materials and manufacturing) and its suitability to practice-led research is demonstrated.

Comparison of Semantic Intent and Realization in Product Design: A Study on High-End Furniture Impressions Khalaj, Javad; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs (2014-12-01) This paper presents a comparative analysis of designers' intended impressions and users' realized impressions of products, within the context of design communication. Its originality comes from the empirical approach taken, which examines the extent of users' shared impressions from products and their closeness to originating designers' intentions. Visual stimuli and semantic differential evaluations involving high-end furniture (n = 8) and representative target users (n = 80) were used. Data analysis was c...
Performance-based parametric design explorations: A method for generating appropriate building components Ercan, Burak; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira (2015-05-01) Performance-based parametric design explorations depend on formulating custom-designed workflows that require reading, writing, interpreting and manipulating databases, as part of the design process. The possibilities of customization and parameterization offered by the user-friendly interfaces of advanced building-performance simulation software and digital design tools have now enabled architects to carry out performance-based design explorations without the help of simulation experts. This paper presents...
Depth assisted object segmentation in multi-view video Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2008-01-01) In this work, a novel and unified approach for multi-view video (MVV) object segmentation is presented. In the first stage, a region-based graph-theoretic color segmentation algorithm is proposed, in which the popular Normalized Cuts segmentation method is improved with some modifications on its graph structure. Segmentation is obtained by recursive bi-partitioning of a weighted graph of an initial over-segmentation mask. The available segmentation mask is also utilized during dense depth map estimation ste...
Evaluation of UAS Camera Operator Interfaces in a Simulated Task Environment An Optical Brain Imaging Approach Çakır, Murat Perit; Akay, Daryal; Ayaz, Hasan; İşler, Veysi (null; 2012-07-11) In this paper we focus on the effect of different interface designs on the performance and cognitive workload of sensor operators (SO) during a target detection task in a simulated environment. Functional near-infrared (fNIR) spectroscopy is used to investigate whether there is a relationship between target detection performance across three SO interfaces and brain activation data obtained from the subjects’ prefrontal cortices that are associated with relevant higher-order cognitive functions such as atten...
Content analysis of exhibit labels in science centers Gezer, İrem; Özdemir, Ömer Faruk; Department of Science Education (2022-9-13) Exhibit labels are powerful tools for initiating communication between visitors and exhibits in science centers. Exhibit designs and labels can change according to the educational goals in science centers. Previous studies have focused on the aesthetic aspects of labels rather than the content, and they can hardly give us educational messages behind the exhibit labels. The purpose of this study is to investigate variations of labels used for interactive exhibits in science centers. To investigate the variat...
