Run by Charlotte Jarvis and Regina Peldszus
"Last month, I was invited to run a one-day workshop on human factors in extreme environments with 20 Design Interaction masters students at the Royal College of Art, together with Charlotte Jarvis. The workshop participants responded to a fictional but feasible future mission scenario involving a remote duty station in deep space, where a crew member has been experiencing – and initially hiding – a painful medical condition. After a morning of hands-on familiarisation with group dynamics in unusual or extreme settings, the participants plotted different chains of events in the mission scenario, and developed one particular situation with its ethical, emotional or logistical dimension in more detail. The associated issues and implications touched upon in the participants' final responses – in the form of speculative products, systems or services – ticked a number of boxes of exploration-related R&D taxonomies from preventative and onboard medical care, in situ restraint of individual crew members and onboard ambient intelligence to legal issues, risk perception, loss of crew and more." - Regina Peldszus
