DESIGN INNOVATION CENTER
User-centred design is a methodology that aims to create systems of product / service that can get the highest satisfaction and best user experience for the consumer or customer. It is a methodological process of identifying necessities, objectives, expectations, motivations and abilities of people, and it is these elements that guide each stage of the design process. Research Areas
"Experience Design" With regard to design experiences, main aspects focus on the design moments and experiences that create emotional links with the service or product.
"Service design" is the application of the principles, methods, processes and design tools to design services.
"Interaction Design" covers aspects such as usability concepts, perception and intuitiveness. Having the equipment "Eye Tracking" and "Face Reading" for their analysis.
"Design for All" aims to prioritize the inclusion of the widest possible range of users in the design. This implies the need to identify and understand human capabilities and diversity.
"Eco Design" focuses on designing and developing eco-efficient products and services, thus helping to reduce the environmental impact and generate changes in the habits of people.
Eric Ries “Design is more than just how that something looks, more than how something functions. Design has evolved to even consider how you feel when you use, or are about to use something. FACILITIES 2015 Interaction Lab: Eye tracking and Face reader. Image Lab: 3D scanner, 3D printing , scenarios . 2016 Prototype workshop: to create all kind of prototypes.
