Tools & Downloadable Materials

A browser-based implementation of the DS-Viz method for visualising design spaces. Creates a design space from text input by relying on a small language model for assessing ideas' similarity and clustering. Allows tagging idea sources and trajectories. Brrowser native, no installation required. Allows image download.

The workshop materials (presentation, template sheets and instruction manual, both in English and Portuguese) are freely available for download the University of Cambridge repository. A companion online app and form for the LEGO® workshop are also available so participants can submit their solutions and see the design space (for their session) being populated.

Full print-and-play materials for BGI40 and an online support tool (Tech Tree), a serious board game simulating Industry 4.0 technology adoption in manufacturing companies. Players devise a strategy to achieve the business goals and build capabilities across Production, ICT, and Management. Released as an open educational resource under CC BY 4.0.

A browser-based, standalone version of the Industry 4.0 Board Game — play solo directly online, no printing or setup required. A companion mode (Calculator) is available for in-person sessions. Multiplayer support is coming soon.

A digital adaptation of the Bucciarelli's Delta Design game used in design protocol research, letting participants design a component under changing constraints while their process is recorded and analysed. A multiplayer version is in development aiming to explore collaborative design among humans and AI — details coming soon.

A design game exploring concepts related to factory planning and design. Based on the game Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig, players have to collaborate and pursue trade-offs two organise their factories.

Solutions to a game-based design problem, collected from 30 lab study participants plus 100 additional solutions from online players. Used to support the development of the DS-Viz method for visualising design spaces. Released as an Excel file under CC BY 4.0.
