ABSTRACT

The nascent field of biodesign creates novel applications of life sciences through design methods. Biodesign has the potential to shift interactive computational systems from using purely digital components to systems that integrate living organisms. However, there is a lack of understanding of biodesign and how it advances HCI. We present a review of 41 papers published in ACM Digital Library, IEEE Explore digital library and the Design and Applied Arts Index. We found that existing literature describes aspects of biodesign theory, design processes and artifacts, and educational environments, but not holistically. Based on the findings, we define biodesign as the application of the bioaffordances of an organism. We contribute the Bio-Inquiry model: a methodology connecting user-centered, scientific and critical inquiries to inform the design of interactive artifacts. We discuss the opportunities at the intersection of biodesign and HCI to consider the nature of future technologies.

摘要

新兴的生物设计领域通过设计方法创造了生命科学的新应用。生物设计有可能将交互式计算系统从使用纯数字组件转变为集成生物体的系统。然而，人们对生物设计及其如何推进 HCI 缺乏了解。我们回顾了发表在 ACM 数字图书馆、IEEE 探索数字图书馆和设计与应用艺术索引中的 41 篇论文。我们发现现有文献描述了生物设计理论、设计过程和人工制品以及教育环境的各个方面，但不是整体的。基于这些发现，我们将生物设计定义为生物体的生物可供性的应用。我们贡献了 Bio-Inquiry 模型：一种连接以用户为中心、科学和批判性调查，以告知交互式工件的设计。我们讨论了生物设计和 HCI 交叉点的机会，以考虑未来技术的性质。
