Computational co-creative systems in design allow users to collaborate with an AI partner on
open-ended creative tasks in the design process. Co-creative systems can enhance design …

This work lends insight into the meaning and impact of “near” and “far” analogies. A
cognitive engineering design study is presented that examines the effect of the distance of …

This paper aims to develop a systematized theory on the thinking process at the 'very early
stage of design.'Here,'very'is used to exaggerate the beginning of design, which includes the …

We approached the concept generation stage in design within the framework of a concept-
synthesizing process from two base concepts. We analyzed the concept generation process …

Conceptual design is a creative process. Designers create functions to satisfy customer
needs and behaviors and forms to fulfill their functions. Although cognitive processes are at …

Abstract. We describe a design synthesizing process which has been pointed out to be a key
to creative design. We describe two topics of design study. First, from the perspectives of …

Virtual reality (VR) application creation is a comprehensive development process that
requires a variety of skills: not only hardware and software knowledge but also aesthetic …

This work lends insight into the meaning and impact of “near” and “far” analogies. A

The overall goal of this work is to support creativity of technical products by supporting
improvement of novelty of designs at the conceptual stage. In this work, use of analogy as a …

Many studies about creativity revealed that design inspiration played an important role in
generating innovative ideas, but ignored the influence of stimulation timing on design …
