Surprise2Refine：面向智能体辅助创意支架的以轴为中心的探索-细化方法
Surprise2Refine: Axis-Centered Exploration-To-Refinement for Agent-Assisted Creative Scaffolding
AI总结：
针对现有智能体创意工具设计空间适配不足的问题，提出Surprise2Refine的以轴为中心的探索-细化工作流，原型可构建n×n设计空间，研究表明其能提升用户控制感与设计成果感知创意性。
AI中文摘要：
设计师在创意的不同阶段需要不同的设计空间：探索阶段需要宽泛的空间，细化阶段则需要针对性的空间。然而现有的智能体驱动工具都采用固定或持续扩展的空间，让设计师自行管理和导航。基于对5位设计师的形成性研究，我们提出一种以轴为中心的工作流，可自适应地拓宽和收窄设计空间，以支持结构化探索与细化。我们将该工作流实现在Surprise2Refine原型中，该原型允许用户随着创意意图的演变，通过一系列以轴为中心的交互来构建和重塑n×n的设计空间。针对14位设计师的被试内研究表明，Surprise2Refine可增强用户的控制感，支持对支架路径的追踪，并提升设计成果的感知创意性。我们还提炼出设计见解，以指导未来用于创意支架的智能体辅助工具。
英文摘要：
Designers require different design spaces across creative stages: broad during exploration, and targeted during refinement. Yet existing agent-driven tools assume a fixed or continuously expanding space, leaving designers to manage and navigate it themselves. Informed by a formative study with five designers, we propose an axis-centered workflow that adaptively broadens and narrows the design space to support structured exploration and refinement. We implemented this workflow in Surprise2Refine, a prototype that allows users to build and reshape an nxn design space through a set of axis-centered interactions as their creative intent evolves. A within-subjects study with 14 designers shows that Surprise2Refine enhances users' sense of control, supports tracking of scaffolding paths, and improves the perceived creativity of design outcomes. We further distill design insights to guide future agent-assisted tools for creative scaffolding.
