Synesthesia
Synesthesia is a creative ideation exercise that encourages participants to explore ideas through the lens of the five senses. This method helps uncover new perspectives and insights by engaging participants in sensory role play, making it ideal for enhancing creativity in design or problem-solving contexts.

Allow participants a few moments to interpret the topic from the perspective of their assigned sense.

Consejos
Encourage participants to think beyond the literal and embrace metaphorical interpretations.
This can lead to more creative and unexpected insights.
Be open to diverse and even humorous descriptions, as they can spark further ideation.
Variaciones
Consider using this method in combination with sketching or prototyping exercises to further explore sensory insights. Alternatively, use it to evaluate existing products by imagining how they might 'feel' differently if altered.
