Integrating user stories to inspire the co-design of digital futures for cultural heritage

Co-design as a tactic of exploring and shaping possible futures would benefit from contributions of unwitting participants. That is, researchers gather information from them while performing some activities without participants being explicitly aware of it. We propose a platform that supports co-designers in capturing unwitting user-generated contributions and use them in the co-design of meaningful user experience for digitally augmented cultural heritage exhibitions. We report on a use case for ideating futures for cultural heritage and discuss the tradeoffs of involving unwitting participants in exploratory design as well as lessons learnt on the integration of users contributions into co-design processes.
