Abstract:
In the context of specific user (surgery or handicap domain), the list of requirements is especially difficult to
establish. We propose to reflect on the design methodology and especially on the Scenario & Emulation
application. The aim is to make emerge needs in users who have specific relation to the final product. In
this paper, we illustrate the research with two projects: the DESTIN Project (know-how and experience of
the surgeons) and the AE2M Project (handicapped children). User, usage and products are the parameters
we chose to define and to categorize with the objective to optimise the design process.
