Design thinking facilitates innovation by providing interpretation and visualization means for the conceptualization of product/service/business model design approaches. For visualization Design Thinking recommends, amongst others, tangible means for ideation and early prototyping work of non-designer teams.
The means are kept generic, intuitive and flexible to foster creativity and co-creation in groups with mixed competences. However as a result this leads to design objects that have very little semantics incorporated and which inherently lack domain specific information. But this domain-specific knowledge and the semantic context are important for implementing new or improved products/services/business models in an organizational context.
This research project aims to use neural networks to train and recognize modelling objects, specifically for the case of design thinking within Scene2Model.
Use of Neural Networks with Scene2Model: A Case for Design Thinking
Training Phase:
- Add concepts for figures that can be relevant for the recognition phase to the Scene2Model modelling bar.
- Train image recognition service to recognize the images in a scene that is created during the recognition phase.
Recognition Phase:
- Create a physical scene with the available figures.
- Digitalize physical scene into Scene2Model tool using image recognition service.
Further features:
- Dynamically set the attributes available in the notebook of the concepts in Scene2Model (training and recognition phase).
- Identify figures in the scene that have not yet been trained or could not be properly identified with the training and provide recommendations to extend Scene2Model modelling bar (during recognition).
