RE-FLEX
A technology and expertise resource centre combining Lund University, the Technical Faculty
(LTH) and Lund University Hospital working for the benefit of society in the Skåne and Öresund regions
where the focus is on people, democracy and solving real-world
problems.

Design @ Work
• Multidisciplinary Research Group– Architecture, Design, Drama, Psychology,
Informatics, Ergonomics, Computer Science, Human Computer Interaction, Participatory Design
• Formed about 7 years ago• Active until about 2 years ago• Less active now, but still talking to each
other• New projects to continue from previous work

Working in the Fullscale Lab
http://www.reflex.lth.se/design/datw
Participatory Design
• Involving all the people connected to a design change (end users)
• Tacit Knowledge• Communities of Practice• Design by doing• Supporting Collaboration and
Communication
http://www.reflex.lth.se/design/datw
Envisionment Workshop
• A toolbox with various tools and methods of usage for participatory design
• Full Scale Modelling, Drama, Virtual Reality, Democratic Meeting Techniques
• Integration of the tools
http://www.reflex.lth.se/design/datw
Aims
• To further improve the integration of the physical models with the virtual environments.
• To use and refine this new tool through real design situations.

Object
• Sege Park, an area of Malmö with existing buildings and a park-like feeling that is to be preserved.
• Situation: a gentrification of the area is in progress with renovations and new buildings being discussed and built.

Methodology
• A Case Study• Iterative Prototyping• User Centered Design• Prototype testing through real
situations• Observations• Feedback from the test subjects
http://www.reflex.lth.se/design/datw
Technology
• Wood, Cardboard, Paper, Glue
• VICON Optical Tracking System– Modified for rigid body tracking
• Virtual Reality System with double projectors and Passive Stereo Capabilities
