ABSTRACT
User-driven innovation regards users as a resource in the innovation process. Taking prototypes of novel technology as a starting point, a dialogue with users becomes a springboard to generate new ideas. The user group is often highly specialized, and not necessarily the intended end users of the technology. The Future Applications Lab has successfully used this approach in several recent projects. In Pin&Play, we pushed the development of novel surface-based networking in collaboration with the staff of a film festival. In context photography we engaged a group of photographers with a unique outlook on the process of picture taking.

Recommendations
User involvement competence for radical innovation
One important market related capability for firms which seek to develop radical innovations is the competence to involve the 'right' users at the 'right' time in the 'right' form. While former studies have identified a rather passive role of users in ...
Three user-driven innovation methods for co-creating cloud services
INTERACT'11: Proceedings of the 13th IFIP TC 13 international conference on Human-computer interaction - Volume Part IVThe role of users in design is changing from one of passive research subjects to one of active co-designers. Users are the best experts of their everyday life experiences, making them great potential sources of innovation. User-driven innovation ...
Enabling end user development through mashups: requirements, abstractions and innovation toolkits
IS-EUD'11: Proceedings of the Third international conference on End-user developmentThe development of modern Web 2.0 applications is increasingly characterized by the involvement of end users with typically limited programming skills. In particular, an emerging practice is the development of web mashups, i.e., applications based on ...
