7.3 REPAR
a sensitization phase in which past experiences are elicited from end users, and an elaboration phase in which designers elicit anticipated future experiences from end users about a proposed concept, resulting in a story about how the concept will provide value to end users. The concept representations are created with IdAnimate, Sketchify or Virtual Reality tools, depending on the phase of the design process.
