Abstract

This paper presents an insightful explanation of designers’ experience over time during immersive co-design sessions. The data was collected through immersive retrospection interviews, here used to assess a co-design activity. Three teams of two proficient designers individually self-evaluated their perceived experience by observing an immersive video unfolding their respective co-design sessions inside a social virtual environment (Hyve-3D).
