StarBurst: Aiding Design Ideation Through AI-Generated Remote Associations

Le résumé fourni par la source

Remote associations play a crucial role in enhancing creativity during design ideation, yet designers face challenges in effectively creating and integrating them. Our formative study (N = 5) shows the potential of AI-generated remote associations to facilitate this process, but there are still challenges to understand and apply them. To address these, we propose StarBurst, which supports design ideation through AI-generated remote associations. It consists of three core components: (1) generating diverse remote associations from images to expand creative possibilities; (2) constructing an attribute map to explore connections between associative elements; and (3) providing suggestions to integrate these associations into the final design idea. Through two forms of user studies (N = 32, N = 16), we found that StarBurst outperformed designers in generating remote associations and provided more effective support for diverse and creative idea development compared to the baseline system. Additionally, we discussed how users’ usage patterns and perceptions influence StarBurst’s effectiveness.
