In this paper, we explore the role of sources of inspiration
in interaction design. We identify four strategies
for relating sources of inspiration to emerging ideas:
selection; adaptation; translation; and combination. As
our starting point, we argue that sources of inspiration
are a form of knowledge crucial to creativity. Our
research is based on empirical findings arising from
the use of Inspiration Card Workshops, which are collaborative
design events in which domain and technology
insight are combined to create design concepts. In
addition to the systematically introduced sources of
inspiration that form part of the workshop format, a
number of spontaneous sources of inspiration emerged
during these workshops.
