Aysun Aytaç

Aysun is a design researcher at the research group Competence Centre for Design and Management at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland. Her background is in product/industrial design. She is interested in combining theories and approaches from design, material culture, ethnography, everyday life and design thinking to explore interactions between people and artefacts.

Currently, Aysun is contributing to an interdisciplinary research project (VA-PEPR) which looks into how people experience voice assistants (VAs) in their homes and private lives and how they develop new practices and routines around their use of VAs. By focusing on the home environment, user experience, and ethical issues, the project aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of this new technology.
