Image-based AI for Industrial Design: How aligning semantics among desingers helps them use AI tools more effectively

This research explores the opportunities and limitations of image-based AI tools for industrial design. In collaboration with designers at Royal Gazelle, several tools were tested. AI tools can broaden and speed up the creative processes but also lack control for the user. AI models and designers use different terms to articulate perceptions and...

Designing AI projects using a reactive digital canvas

Supporting designers working with AI is important, yet the tools they have at their disposal are in many ways not satisfactory. The aim of this project was to design a digital canvas tool which lets designers explore AI and ML, adopt the affordances that AI and ML as a design material give, and which can be used to map out and design integrated...

A patient journey map to improve the home isolation experience of persons with mild COVID-19: Design research for service touchpoints of artificial intelligence in eHealth

Background: In the context of the COVID-19 outbreak, 80% of the persons who are infected have mild symptoms and are required to self-recover at home. They have a strong demand for remote health care that, despite the great potential of artificial intelligence (AI), is not met by the current services of eHealth. Understanding the real needs of...
