Hi.

$Today$Im$going$to$walk$you$though$some$of$my$thoughts$on$how$to$make$

out$a$couple$of$key$pieces.$I$would$also$like$to$issue$a$disclaimer$up$front:$This$is$the$

about$how$to$make$this$approach$beJer,$or$if$it$even$works$at$all.$

1$

Let me begin by telling you a bit about my background. I m a user experience


designer. I was one of the first professional Web designers. This is the navigation for a
hot sauce shopping site I designed in the spring of 1994.

2$

Ive$also$worked$on$the$user$experience$design$of$a$lot$of$consumer$electronics$
products$from$companies$youve$probably$heard$of.$

3$

I$wrote$a$couple$of$books$based$on$my$experience$as$a$designer.$One$is$a$cookbook$
of$user$research$methods,$and$the$second$describes$what$I$think$are$some$of$the$
core$concerns$when$designing$networked$computa=onal$devices.$

4$

I$also$started$a$couple$of$companies.$The$rst,$Adap=ve$Path,$was$primarily$focused$
on$the$web,$and$with$the$second$one,$ThingM,$I$got$deep$into$developing$hardware.$

5$

Today$I$work$for$PARC,$the$famous$research$lab,$as$a$principal$in$its$Innova=on$
Services$group.$We$help$companies$reduce$the$risk$of$adop=ng$novel$technologies$
using$a$mix$of$ethnographic$research,$user$experience$design$and$innova=on$
strategy.$We$do$everything$from$coaching$teams$inside$companies$to$developing$
novel$products.$

6$

How$do$you$know$whether$there's$a$market$for$something,$that$people$will$want$it$
and$use$it,$without$building$it?$

7$

One$of$the$biggest$ques=ons$that$our$clients$have,$and$frankly$we$have,$is$how$to$
know$if$a$new$hardware$product$or$service$is$going$to$be$successful$without$actually$
going$through$the$expense$of$developing$a$nished$device$and$building$out$a$cloud$
service$to$support$it.$Thats$incredibly$expensive$and$=meHconsuming.$On$the$other$
hand,$no$one$in$an$interview$or$a$focus$group$is$going$to$tell$you$that$theyd$like$a$
WiHconnected$speaker$that$listens$to$you$all$the$=me$and$tries$to$predict$what$kind$
of$music$youre$going$to$want$to$hear$next$or$what$kind$of$thing$youre$going$to$want$
to$buy,$and$if$they$do$you$probably$wont$listen.$The$reason$Amazon$can$go$ahead$
and$make$a$complete$product$like$this,$is$that$they$have$very$deep$pockets$and$they$
can$loose$money$for$a$long$=me$learning$how$to$t$a$product$and$its$service$to$a$
market.$but$most$other$projects$have$Indiegogo$and$hunches$at$best.$
$
Take$the$ninja$sphere$from$the$Ninja$Blocks$folks.$They$had$a$super$successful$
Kickstarter$for$their$MakerHoriented$products,$and$for$their$second$thing$they$
decided$to$go$with$a$consumer$product.$But$consumer$products$are$really$hard,$and$if$
you$dont$get$all$the$nuances$right,$the$manufacturing,$the$design,$the$service,$the$
=ming$$and$the$nances$required$to$employ$all$the$people$who$make$that$happen,$
you$dont$get$the$volumes$that$you$need$to$create$a$sustainable$business,$and$thats$
what$happened$to$them.$Theyre$barely$going$to$get$the$rst$run$made$for$their$
backers$and$then$theyre$going$to$shut$down.$

8$

So]ware$used$to$be$a$physical$product,$too,$with$the$same$kinds$of$linear$waterfall$
manufacturing$and$distribu=on$dynamics$

9$

but$the$Internet$fundamentally$changed$the$way$that$so]ware$is$deployed,$and$
now$there$is$a$robust$ecosystem$to$quickly$design,$develop$and$deploy$so]ware,$
websites$and$apps$to$test$product$market$t.$The$Web$and$app$stacks$are$tailored$
around$tools$for$rapidly$evalua=ng$how$well$products$work$and$whether$they$t$the$
needs$and$behaviors$of$their$market.$

10$

No$such$ecosystem$exists$for$hardware.$
The$best$we$get$is$this$(arduino)$and$this$(Kickstarter).$Crowdfunding$is$essen=ally$
only$a$very$crude$tool$for$evalua=ng$the$desirability$of$an$idea,$and$its$a$preJy$messy$
tool$where$theres$very$liJle$clear$signal.$

11$

This$means$that$the$classic$Lean$Startup$model$doesnt$work$for$hardware.$If$you$try$
it$for$a$physical$product,$you$realize$that$it$is$based$on$Internet$and$so]ware$
assump=ons$that$just$dont$apply$to$todays$hardware$manufacturing$ecosystem.$For$
example,$maybe$you$can$cobble$together$an$MVP$with$an$Arduino$on$a$breadboard$
and$a$3D$printed$plas=c$enclosure,$but$you$s=ll$cant$deploy$it$quickly$or$get$accurate$
feedback$about$it$to$measure$usage.$The$barrier$to$gegng$past$the$very$rst$part$of$
the$very$rst$itera=on$is$enormous.$

12$

Physical$product$design$is$s=ll$very$much$a$slow,$old$waterfall$development$model.$
A]er$20$years$dismantling$it$in$so]ware,$hardware$today$is$worse$than$so]ware$ever$
was.$Product$design$is$actually$LESS$agile$than$the$LEAST$agile$so]ware$waterfall$
model.$

13$

Sure$some=mes$people$will$draw$it$as$a$circle,$but$that$doesnt$x$the$underlying$
problem.$

14$

In$reality,$when$developing$a$new$connected$hardware$product$today,$the$process$is$
liJle$dierent$than$when$Michael$Porter$dened$it$like$this$in$1980$for$tradi=onal$
manufactured$goods$like$coee$makers.$You$s=ll$have$to$do$each$one$of$these$steps,$
and$each$one$takes$months,$if$not$years.$
$
You$get$one$shot$and$if$youre$lucky$and$all$the$stars$align,$you$get$to$roll$the$dice$
again,$and$they$dont,$then$you$shut$down$and$have$to$start$over.$That$sucks!$I$want$
to$change$it.$

15$

And$when$you$go$down$that$technology,$manufacturing,$launch$and$market$route,$
which$is$kind$of$like$saying$ReadyHFireHAim,$you$typically$get$one$of$three$outcomes:$
1.$kinda$pointless$gadgets$that$exist$because$they$can,$not$because$anyone$wants$
them,$such$as$this$Quirky$egg$thing.$This$is$product$design$by$willful$ignorance.$Its$
essen=ally$saying:$Figuring$out$what$people$actually$need$and$want$is$hard,$so$well$
just$work$on$the$stu$we$know$and$well$spend$a$lot$of$=me$and$money,$and$well$
cross$our$ngers$and$hope$that$we$dont$have$to$sell$the$overstock$to$woot.$

16$

2.$supercial$formal$varia=on$with$very$liJle$change$of$core$func=onality.$This$is$
product$design$by$fear.$Its$saying$Figuring$out$what$people$want$and$need$is$hard,$
so$well$make$small$changes$to$things$that$we$already$know$they$want$and$hope$that$
our$tweaks$will$bring$them$to$us$instead$of$a$compe=tor.$
$
Or$3.,$the$worst$situa=on$is$that$even$if$you$hit$on$a$success$through$this$random$
walk$through$product$space,$its$impossible$to$replicate$it$because$you$dont$know$
what$you$did$right$or$wrong.$The$big$consumer$electronics$companies$are$notorious$
for$this.$

17$

Seeed$is$trying$to$=ghten$the$loop,$or$how$to$create$a$loop$at$all,$by$trying$to$see$
what$they$can$make$in$a$day,$but$its$s=ll$highly$experimental,$and$even$if$you$can$
make$something$quickly,$its$s=ll$really$expensive$to$design$and$develop$it,$and$you$
s=ll$have$no$good$way$to$get$market$feedback$on$it.$

18$

So$to$reduce$your$chances$of$failure,$all$you$have$to$fall$back$on$right$now$the$
tradi=onal$customerHcentered$new$product$development$model$derived$from$
industrial$design$and$popularized$by$companies$like$IDEO$and$frog.$Let$me$go$through$
that$just$so$you$know.$In$the$model$you$use$a$combina=on$of$ethnographic$
observa=on,$idea=on$and$a$lot$of$talking$and$analysis$to$iden=fy$what$sounds$like$a$
good$idea;$then$you$dene$personas,$build$storyboards,$models,$customer$journeys$
and$perhaps$make$some$looksHlike$and$worksHlike$prototypes$that$you$show$key$
stakeholders$and$perhaps$a$handful$of$users.$
$
This$is$as$eec=ve$a$process$as$we$have$right$now,$and$most$companies$dont$even$
go$through$these$rela=vely$simple$steps.$S=ll,$I$think$this$approach$doesnt$get$at$the$
hard$part,$rapidly$iden=fying$whether$an$idea$is$even$interes=ng$to$people,$and$
throwing$it$away$as$soon$as$you$can$if$it$isnt,$while$itera=ng$on$the$parts$that$ARE$
interes=ng.$

19$

By$the$way$if$youre$interested$in$this$tradi=onal$new$product$development$method,$I$
highly$recommend$IDEO.orgs$Crea=ve$CommonsHlicensed$Human$Centered$Design$
toolkits.$Theyre$aimed$at$people$designing$products$for$the$developing$world,$but$
the$ideas$and$methods$are$exactly$the$same$as$designing$a$product$for$anywhere.$

20$

So$how$do$we$design$not$from$posi=ons$of$ignorance$and$fear$to$create$products$that$
we$have$a$high$degree$of$condence$that$people$will$want?$Ive$been$thinking$about$
this$for$a$while.$

21$

And$heres$the$process$Im$currently$using$to$help$us$push$the$bounds$of$exis=ng$products$
and$services$with$some$idea$of$what$people$value$and$whats$technologically$feasible.$Its$
explicitly$based$on$the$Lean$Startup$approach,$but$geared$toward$hardware.$
$
The$top$layer$describes$a$highly$itera=ve$exploratory$phase$that$exists$solely$to$help$us$
understand$what$experiences$provide$value$to$people$and$what$technology$our$team$can$
reasonably$deliver.$Probes,$which$I$will$go$to$in$more$detail$later,$are$things$that$resemble$
nished$productsperhaps$theyre$nonfunc=onal$apps$or$boxes$with$lightsbut$exist$to$
explore$hypotheses$about$what$kinds$of$products$and$services$people$will$respond$well$to.$
We$give$them$to$people$for$a$couple$of$days$or$a$week$and$then$we$interview$them$when$
theyve$had$a$chance$to$live$with$them.$Proofs$of$concept$exist$to$test$the$core$technological$
ideas.$I$dont$care$if$we$have$to$throw$a$$3000$server$at$the$problem$when$the$end$product$
has$to$cost$$10,$is$it$possible$for$us$to$do$that$thing$AT$ALL?$This$kind$of$technical$proofHofH
concept$is$what$Alan$Kay$used$to$call$a$=me$machine.$If$we$can$do$it$for$$3000$today,$well$be$
able$to$do$it$for$$10$in$ve$years,$so$its$as$if$were$paying$a$bunch$of$money$to$get$a$device$
from$the$future.$
$
A]er$this$phase$is$done,$we$throw$everything$we$did$away$and$start$designing$the$real$
product$from$scratch,$and$thats$where$the$prototyping$process$starts.$We$itera=vely$
develop$prototypes$with$addi=onal$user$feedback$un=l$were$preJy$sure$it$represents$a$
valuable$and$technologically$feasible$service.$Then$we$deliver$that$to$our$client$who$throws$
away$all$of$our$work,$but$uses$it$as$a$reference$design$that$they$can$then$tear$apart$and$
rebuild$using$their$own$inHhouse$technologies$or$processes$or$teams.$

22$

The$probe$approach$is$designed$to$get$feedback$quickly$and$help$us$ask$beJer$
ques=ons$about$the$value$of$the$core$ideas.$
$
Before$I$con=nue$with$our$approach,$let$me$digress$a$bit$into$the$history$of$probes,$
because$I$think$its$both$somewhat$unusual$and$important.$

23$

We$start$in$the$late$1990s$with$cultural$probes,$which$were$developed$by$Bill$Gaver$
[and$others]$as$part$of$Equator,$which$was$a$UK$project$to$look$at$how$physical$and$
digital$worlds$interacted$(sound$familiar?$Its$basically$what$we$call$the$Internet$of$
Things$today).$
$
They$realized$that$asking$people$what$they$want$is$not$very$helpful$when$those$
people$have$no$idea$whats$possible,$so$they$developed$a$method$to$get$inspira=on$
about$peoples$lives$obliquely.$Working$from$the$insight$that$people$play$with$
technology$as$they$use$it,$they$created$packs$of$gamelike$ac=vi=es$and$asked$
par=cipants$to$use$those$kits$over$an$extended$period,$such$as$a$week,$though$some$
lasted$as$long$as$six$months.$They$also$o]en$included$an$evoca=ve$nondigital$tool.$
$
Heres$a$pack$that$Gaver$put$together$that$has$a$notebook,$a$disposable$camera,$and$
a$kind$of$stethoscope,$I$think$its$just$a$glass,$that$was$posi=oned$as$a$way$to$listen$
through$doors$and$walls.$The$pack$asked$par=cipants$to$document$using$photos$and$
wri=ng$where$and$why$they$would$like$to$use$the$stethoscope$to$know$whats$going$
on$in$the$next$room.$You$can$see$how$this$would$be$valuable$to$crea=ng$technology
its$in$fact$the$basis$of$the$Kik$appbut$they$explicitly$didnt$try$to$come$up$with$
solu=ons,$but$nd$ways$to$ask$beJer$ques=ons.$
$
The$one$on$the$right$is$by$Louise$Klinker.$Its$focused$on$gegng$people$to$talk$about$$

24$

Gaver$and$his$team$went$as$far$as$to$create$actual$working$electronic$objects,$but$
never$as$products,$but$more$as$ques=ons.$This$is$the$Dri]$Table,$which$was$a$table$
with$an$embedded$scrolling$satellite$view.$They$made$it$several$years$before$Google$
Maps$because$they$wanted$to$explore$what$it$was$like$to$live$with$a$digital$map$that$
you$could$explore$as$entertainment,$rather$than$as$a$way$to$nd$a$specic$route.$
Weve$probably$all$played$with$satellite$view$on$maps,$well$this$project$explored$that$
experience$way$before$it$was$commonplace$and$it$ended$up$inuencing$a$bunch$of$
the$work$that$eventually$went$into$Google$Earth$and$similar$products.$

25$

You$probably$sense$a$kind$of$ar=ness$about$this$work,$well$thats$not$accidental.$
Gaver$and$his$collaborators$based$their$technique$on$art$movements$that$ques=oned$
peoples$rela=onships$to$technological$tools$and$consumer$products.$Situa=onism$
was$a$Marxist$art$movement$in$France$in$the$late$1950s$that$ques=oned$the$roles$
people$play$in$society$and$how$the$objects$they$use$support$those$roles.$Then$they$
tried$to$create$playful$experiences$that$aimed$to$expose$these$rela=onship$between$
people,$their$society$and$their$things.$Heres$one$of$their$deconstructed$maps$of$
Paris,$where$they$cut$apart$a$tradi=onal$map$and$rearranged$it$based$on$one$
persons$use$of$the$city,$rather$than$its$physical$layout.$To$some$extent$this$is$how$
Foursquare$and$Yelp$let$us$see$ci=es$today,$though$of$course$the$Situa=onists$were$
much$more$radical,$intense$and$much$less$prac=cal,$in$their$approach.$
$
About$ten$years$later$similar$ideas$were$created$by$a$group$called$Fluxus$in$the$US$
and$Japanits$the$art$movement$Yoko$Ono$was$part$of$when$she$met$John$Lennon
who$were$also$very$interested$in$the$role$of$commercial$products,$and$created$
many,$many$playful$products$and$performances$that$also$challenged$peoples$
assump=ons.$Heres$one$of$their$boxes,$which$is$lled$with$all$kinds$of$ridiculous$and$
some=mes$clever$artworks$that$were$mass$produced$and$cross$the$line$to$being$
products$of$a$sort,$which$you$could$buy$from$their$store$in$New$York.$

26$

OK$enough$digression$into$1960s$conceptual$art,$but$I$wanted$to$give$you$a$sense$
that$people$have$been$trying$for$about$40$years$to$understand$how$people$relate$to$
technological$products$other$than$the$Industrial$Revolu=on$technologyHrst$
manufacturing$waterfall$model.$
$
Our$approach$to$probes$approach$owes$a$lot$to$the$technology$probes$project$Hillary$
Hutchison$and$others$in$the$early$2000s.$Their$probes$extended$Gavers$cultural$
probes$into$the$eects$of$specic$technologies$on$specic$situa=ons.$Rather$than$
asking$completely$openHended$inspira=onal$ques=ons,$they$were$trying$to$come$up$
with$a$method$that$asked$more$directed$ques=ons,$but$s=ll$did$not$try$to$solve$
specic$problems.$What$they$ended$up$making$resemble$what$I$would$call$Lean$
Startup$MVP$products.$
$
For$example,$one$set$of$technology$probes$looked$at$how$mul=genera=onal$
extended$families$could$communicate.$One$probe$was$a$set$of$connected$
touchscreens,$but$they$didnt$tell$people$what$to$draw,$and$instead$they$watched$
what$they$drew$with$this$openHended$tool.$In$fact,$they$inten=onally$stripped$a$lot$of$
func=onality$away$to$make$it$feel$less$like$a$product,$so$they$could$focus$on$how$
people$used$it$as$a$medium.$

27$

I$really$like$the$dis=nc=ons$they$draw$between$a$probe$and$a$prototype,$and$I$think$is$
really$a$list$of$why$we$dont$want$to$get$too$aJached$to$our$probes$and$to$use$them$
as$a$means$to$beJer$understand$people$and$the$value$that$technology$plays$in$their$
experience.$In$other$words,$helping$ask$beJer$ques=ons.$

28$

PARC$is$a$scien=c$research$lab,$but$were$also$a$consul=ng$organiza=on$that$does$
research$and$product$design$on$behalf$of$our$clients,$so$I$tried$to$put$together$a$
lightweight,$but$rigorous$method$that$we$could$rapidly$use$to$iterate$on$ideas,$and$
with$more$explicit$direc=on$than$either$cultural$probes$or$technology$probes,$while$
s=ll$keeping$some$of$the$evoca=ve$and$openHended$quali=es$of$those$methods.$

29$

Heres$our$version$of$the$probe$process.$Itll$look$familiar$from$various$new$product$
development$and$user$centered$design$prac=ces.$Ive$tried$to$emphasize$explicit$
hypothesis$genera=on$and$evalua=on$because$when$youre$making$an$unknown$
product$in$a$novel$category$for$an$untested$market,$which$is$where$we$work,$one$of$
the$only$points$of$stability$is$an$clear$statement$about$what$you$think$the$value$of$the$
idea$is,$and$thats$the$hypothesis,$so$that$when$the$probe$process$calls$it$into$
ques=on,$that$provides$guidance$about$how$to$iterate$it.$

30$

I$wont$dwell$on$this$step,$but$I$do$want$to$emphasize$that$you$should$do$as$much$
background$research$as$possible.$I$see$so$many$projects$that$replicate$something$else$
thats$out$there$and$even$if$you$want$to$enter$a$eld$where$there$are$already$players,$
you$need$to$evaluate$their$strengths$and$weaknesses.$Here$are$my$sources.$I$
generally$try$to$channel$my$four$yearHold$son,$who$typically$asks$why$about$
everything,$and$thats$a$really$great$means$of$root$cause$analysis$to$understand$the$
world.$Why$did$Google$create$the$Nexus$Q?$
$
I$also$want$to$say$its$absolutely$ne$to$work$from$your$own$gut$and$if$you$see$an$
undesirable$situa=on$that$you$believe$you$know$how$to$improve$or$an$opportunity$
that$you$think$you$can$exploit,$great.$Dont$fall$in$love$with$your$visions,$since$odds$
are$that$theyre$wrong$in$some$key$way,$but$your$understanding$of$the$space$has$to$
start$somewhere$and$that$can$absolutely$be$your$gut.$

31$

The$next$step$is$to$clearly$ar=culate$that$hypothesis.$There$are$many$ways$to$do$that.$
The$Lean$Business$canvas$is$essen=ally$a$hypothesis$checklist$with$a$lot$of$parts,$and$
XP$and$agile$user$stories$are$a$simpler$way$to$ar=culate$a$hypothesis.$You$can$use$
whatever$method$you$want.$

32$

33$

Now,$when$youre$in$this$part$of$the$process,$you$need$to$examine$your$idea$from$as$
many$angles$as$you$can.$You$dont$just$want$one$hypothesis$about$the$value$of$a$
product,$but$to$extract$as$many$dierent$hypotheses$as$are$in$your$product$idea.$This$
is$by$far$the$hardest$part,$since$you$have$to$dig$down$into$your$own$assump=ons$
about$what$your$thing$does,$how$it$does$it$and$why$thats$going$to$be$valuable$to$
people.$
$
So$work$through$an$example.$Say$your$company$has$a$line$on$a$new$cheap$
hyperspectral$sensor$that$lets$you$sense$the$content$of$liquids,$and$a]er$a$bunch$of$
idea=on$and$mee=ng$with$engineers$and$poten=al$investors$you$think$a$great$idea$
will$be$to$make$a$system$of$several$objects$and$a$cloud$service$that$all$work$together$
to$help$people$compensate$for$undesirable$substances$in$what$they$drink.$Theres$a$
sensing$tumbler$and$a$straw$that$dynamically$lters$out$certain$things,$so$if$theyve$
had$too$much$sugar,$or$salt$or$caeine$today,$itll$lter$those$things$out.$And$this$is$
controlled$by$a$cloud$based$machine$learning$service$that$tracks$all$uid$intake$and$
adjusts$the$lter$segngs$in$an=cipa=on$of$where$blood$sugar,$salt$and$caeine$levels$
will$be.$And$it$of$course$lters$out$impuri=es.$Your$business$model$is$to$make$all$the$
hardware$products$cheap$and$make$money$on$subscrip=ons$to$the$service$and$lter$
sales.$OK,$that$may$sound$farfetched,$but$its$not$unthinkable,$and$to$me$it$certainly$

Also,$your$hypothesis$needs$to$try$and$have$a$50%$chance$of$failure.$Not$compete$
success$and$not$total$failure.$This$is$a$diagram$from$Donald$Reinertsen,$a$product$

the$most$amount$of$informa=on$about$your$idea$as$it$approaches$a$50%$chance$of$

There$are$many$ways$to$create$lowHdelity$probes,$but$the$basic$idea$is$to$work$
quickly$and$try$to$iden=fy$the$essence$of$what$youre$trying$to$evaluate,$and$make$a$
thing$that$you$can$show$people.$

For$example,$for$the$smart$uid$service$idea,$I$would$rst$do$this:$Id$make$a$fake$
smart$mug$by$wri=ng$the$words$Smart$Mug$on$a$water$boJle$that$I$would$give$them,$
and$I$would$fake$the$sensing$aspect$of$it$by$asking$them$to$only$drink$out$of$that$
boJle$for$5$days,$and$text$me$a$picture$of$their$drink$whenever$they$relled$it.$I$
would$then$text$them$back$a$made$up$list$of$contents$and$I$would$track$that$in$a$
Google$Doc$spreadsheet$to$create$fake$trend$visuals$in$a$mockup$app.$
