4.2.3.1.1. Participatory design
Processpatching borrows from participatory design approaches, (Schiphorst, Andersen et al 2.3.1.) where the audience becomes part of the design and development process, which turns out to be particularly relevant for interactive, user-centred design, where the audience becomes co-author. The focus on the audience and their early inclusion in the iterative development process was manifested in several case studies (‘whisper’ 3.1.2., ‘Kurort’ 3.1.3., ‘Polar’ 3.2.1., ‘DataCloud’ 3.2.2).
In addition, combinations of participatory design and participatory action methods are useful for experiments in the field of Human Computer Interaction (H.C.I.) and interface design (Candy and Edmonds, 2.2.6.1.).
