In participatory design participants (putative, potential or future) are invited to cooperate with designers, researchers and developers during an innovation process. Potentially, they participate during several stages of an innovation process: they participate during the initial exploration and problem definition both to help define the problem and to focus ideas for solution, and during development, they help evaluate proposed solutions.

Famous quotes containing the word definition:

    Was man made stupid to see his own stupidity?

    Wherein the Beast ravens in its own avidity?
    Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)

    ... if, as women, we accept a philosophy of history that asserts that women are by definition assimilated into the male universal, that we can understand our past through a male lens—if we are unaware that women even have a history—we live our lives similarly unanchored, drifting in response to a veering wind of myth and bias.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
