TWO METHODOLOGIES

USER-CENTERED DESIGN
User-centered design (UCD) is a
process tailored around the user in
which the needs, wants, and limitations
of end users of a product/service are
given extensive attention at each stage
of the design process.
& SERVICE DESIGN THINKING
Service design aims to ensure that
services are useful, usable, and desirable
from the client’s point of view, and
effective, efficient and distinctive from
the supplier’s point of view.
(Birgit Mager, 2009)

“I only know there’s the Shewolf inside the museum” (couple, 30 y.o., RU)
“We read information stands to know the name of the exhibit” (3 girls, 20 y.o., GER)
“They would like to have more information about orientation inside” (2 friends, 20 y.o., USA)
“We don’t understand how to use this map to visit the museum” (3 girls, 20 y.o., USA)
“The visit path was ok, but i would like to have had some more light that would
improve the fruition of the paintings” (visitor, 83 y.o., ITA)

THE DESIGN TOOLS/THE USER ETHNOGRAPHIC MAP

The user ethnographic map (UEM) is a tool for analysing extremely heterogeneous
data which come from the ux research, and works as a bridge between the research
and the design phase.


THE DESIGN TOOLS/THE USER ETHNOGRAPHIC MAP

SAY: What does the user says?

DO: What does the user do?

MEAN: What meaning s/he attributes to his surrounding?

FEEL: How does he feel?

SEE: What does s/he see around that has an impact on his actions?

HEAR: What does s/he hear from people that may orient beliefs?

NEED/WANT: What does s/he need to improve her/his experience?

STRUGGLE: What kind of problems s/he encounters?



THE DESIGN TOOLS/THE MENTAL MODEL

The mental model or affinity diagram helped us to reduce all the relevant data from
the UX research in a more manageable form.



THE DESIGN TOOLS/THE MENTAL MODEL



THE DESIGN TOOLS/PERSONAS

A persona is a realistic character sketch -an archetype- representing an entire group
of real people. Personas summarize user research findings and are communicative
tools that bring the research to life.


FINDINGS


FINDINGS/OUR MENTAL SPACES
Decide to visit the museum Share the visit experience
Prepare the visit Have satisfying information
Get to the museum PROJECT 2 Interact with staff
Manage visit time Have information in one’s language
Have a guided visit Relax and rest
Select what to see fulfilling one’s needs/ Get excited PROJECT 1
passions PROJECT 2 Get memories PROJECT 1
Follow a path Talk about the experience afterwards
Orient oneself PROJECT 2 Deepen the knowledge afterwards
Find a service or a POI PROJECT 2

OUR mental spaces shape the architecture of our interactive service project, and
choosing some mental spaces instead of others is a key turning point for the project.

FINDINGS/MAGNIFY ROMA

For the tourist, who wants to be guided on an emotional journey, “Magnify” is a
digital lens on the world that allows you to see through layers of information to
gain contextual orientation and, unlike traditional navigation and guiding technolo-
gies, “Magnify” is not just tailored around the surroundings, but around You and the
World’s Connections.
