Question

_{2. GIVE Real-life examples of action-centric design approach is carried out in EET Careers}

Answer 1

The rational model is all about planning.You think through entire process and follow concrete,sequential steps.This is the most traditional model.However ,many people have found that they dont actually work that way.For them the design process is encapsulated in the action-centric model,which defines design in terms of personal creativity and fluidity not objectives and parameters.It's a model favoured by those who like to get straight to the action

The design process in action-cetntric model

while the rational model stresses the need to define your goals and restrictions first and foremost,action-centric model sees the design as begining with emotion,creativity,and personal aesthetic judgements made by the designer.The key to the action-centric model therefore is improvisation

you can think of this in the metaphor of juggling.In the rational mode we handle one ball at a time,and toss is repeatedly until its perfected.In the action-centric model you are juggling all the three ball toghether,dealing with each one as it comes up,but being free to switch between them freely,you can drop one ball for a minute,and pick it up again later,or start juggling in the reverse direction.This is generally circular rather than sequential process,where design ,analysis and implementation build upon each other

Action centric view on tangible interaction

For digitally mediated actions

As resources for digitally mediated actions,the tangible artefacts are them understood to provide new means for control and performance with a computational system.Physical objects incorporating sensing and actuation technologies like haptics,accelerometers and navigation in virtual spaces.Mobile positioning systems and sensors of varying kinds amy facilitate performance and access to media and fucntioanlity that is tied to a speciifc physical object or place.Tagible systems and devices can also in various ways be tailored to provide increased access to computational power for children,people with physical disabilities and others with special physical requirements.e.g on a computer screen,in the form of audio, or through actuated movement of robotic devices

For perceptron and sensory action

There are currently several examples of systems that are designed to give users more contorl with respect to how meaning is extracted from sensor information,where the process of rendering the sensor data meaningufl requires more active engagement with the system
