Engaging Design Presentation
Our final presentations of the design research and outcomes of the Engaging Design module were performative, interactive and engaged various prototypes. The Theatres Trust group presented in lyrical manner a guerrilla style pop up theatre tool box, the Passenger Focus group wrapped us into cocoons to illustrate and raise awareness of personal space in public transportation, Innovate UK showed outcomes of their engaging event: tools to communicate with extra terrestrials, the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes presented examples of ecosystems for the home setting for GM farming, Visit Britain showed, through extensive prototyping, three different approaches to change queuing behaviour and the ICO group taught us tai-chi moves to engage with the surveillance technology of behaviour tracking.

The first term of 2015 saw us working hard in our Engaging Design module. Our brief was to identify and research a group of people aligned with a particular public body. The class separated into seven groups. Between us we engaged with the following public bodies: Information Commissioners Office, The Theatres Trust, Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes, Passenger Focus, Visit Britain, Innovate UK and the Environment Agency. Here you can see a glimpse of presentations from the early stages of the design process: researching in the field.
