The low-tech approach questions our relationship to technology by
challenging notions of need, comfort, and autonomy. By designing
useful, simple, and sustainable systems, people involved in the
low-tech approach push for a reduction in technology complexity,
the empowerment of users, and the idea of sobriety. In this work
in-progress, we present our methodology to investigate the user
experience (UX) resulting from the use of low-tech systems. We
use the Urban Biosphere participatory experiment as a use case to
challenge the traditional view of UX design on notion like efficiency
and comfort, and to unveil the challenges and opportunities brought
by low-tech innovation approaches for user experience designers
willing to engage into strong sustainable practices. The goal is
to identify leverage points that can be addressed through design
to disseminate low-tech solutions more widely and improve their
acceptance and adoption.Read less <
