The topic of the introduction of new user interface technologies into the maritime domain is complicated, due to its complex industrial and regulatory structure. We report on the ongoing work seeking to accelerate the adoption of augmented reality technology in this domain by using open innovation processes. We apply two strategies in our case. First, we use an open innovation process to engage the system actors in the definition of new generic design guidelines for maritime augmented reality. Second, we integrate the work into an open innovation network, the OpenBridge design system, to leverage the existing momentum and industry adoption. We analyse the case as a social technical system (STS) using the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) model to describe our process and apply the Multi-Actor-Network (MAN) for Socio-Technical Regimes to identify the network actors. We use the analysis to describe the maritime industry as a social technical system, to explain how the OpenBridge Design system interferes with that system, and to describe how we plan to accelerate augmented reality through the existing OpenBridge channels. Our work shows an example of how STS and STS transition theory, combined with systems oriented design, can be used to illustrate user-centred open innovation processes as a part of larger complex systems. We argue that this is a useful tool enabling us to better understand the forces involved in industry-wide change processes.

Publishing with RSD

Proceedings of Relating Systems Thinking and Design are published online and include the contributions for each format.

Papers and presentations are entered into a single-blind peer-review process, meaning reviewers see the authors’ names but not vice versa. Reviewers consider the quality of the proposed contribution and whether it addresses topics of interest or raises relevant issues in systemic design. The review process provides feedback and possible suggestions for modifications.

The Organising Committee reviews and assesses workshops and systems maps & exhibits with input from reviewers and the Programme Committee.

The Scholars Spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholars spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
