“Designers will need to be resourceful in putting themselves in the world to observe needs in an empathetic fashion, and develop field techniques for validating their observations. They will increasingly be focused, guiding and capturing social communications, artifacts and experiences. The designed interactions will need to incorporate the designers understanding of the user’s world and goals, as well as sensing, monitoring and tagging technology to enable pro-activity. And finally, the physicality of embodied computing will make rapid prototyping skills and tools increasingly important, since it is important to test “in-the-world” designs by designing in the world.” http://www.aiga.org/resources
