用AI实现设计流程的双向迭代，让探索更灵活高效。
StoryEnsemble: Enabling Dynamic Exploration & Iteration in the Design Process with AI and Forward-Backward Propagation
- 通过节点链接界面与前后传播机制，支持设计各阶段自由跳转与修改。
- 10人用户研究验证：可实现多方向快速迭代，提升流程灵活性。
- 适合体验设计、交互开发人员，尤其适合需要频繁反馈的设计场景。
设计过程涉及人物画像、问题定义、方案构思和原型制作等多个相互关联的阶段，但时间和资源限制常导致设计师无法广泛探索、收集反馈或回溯早期假设，难以在实践中贯彻核心设计原则。为此，我们对15名用户体验从业者、学生及教师进行了前期研究。基于发现，我们提出了StoryEnsemble——一个将AI集成于节点-链接界面的工具，利用前向与后向传播机制，支持设计全流程中的动态探索与迭代。10名参与者组成的用户研究表明，该工具能实现快速、多方向的迭代和灵活导航。本工作深化了对AI如何促进更持续设计实践的理解，引入了使探索与迭代更流畅、可及且具吸引力的新交互方式。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Design processes involve exploration, iteration, and movement across interconnected stages such as persona creation, problem framing, solution ideation, and prototyping. However, time and resource constraints often hinder designers from exploring broadly, collecting feedback, and revisiting earlier assumptions-making it difficult to uphold core design principles in practice. To better understand these challenges, we conducted a formative study with 15 participants-comprised of UX practitioners, students, and instructors. Based on the findings, we developed StoryEnsemble, a tool that integrates AI into a node-link interface and leverages forward and backward propagation to support dynamic exploration and iteration across the design process. A user study with 10 participants showed that StoryEnsemble enables rapid, multi-directional iteration and flexible navigation across design stages. This work advances our understanding of how AI can foster more iterative design practices by introducing novel interactions that make exploration and iteration more fluid, accessible, and engaging.
