Abstract
The paper discusses the psychological implications of codesign techniques. From conceiving innovation in design as the result of the meeting of users' and designers' representations around the future concept, the authors argue that this meeting is only possible when interobjectivity is developed among actors through the use of concrete design tools. Excerpts from a codesign project devoted to the development of sharing services for older people are shown to describe how visualization techniques and tools make it possible to create mutual understanding among participants and agreement on the creation of relevant affordances.
