Abstract
Design thinking enables collaborative innovation by supporting stakeholders in externalizing knowledge through haptic artifacts. However, these artifacts remain informal and are difficult to integrate into conceptual modeling and AI-supported information systems development. This paper positions Scene2Model as a platform for digital design thinking, in which multimodal inputs are transformed into adaptive conceptual models. These models represent digital twins of design thinking that evolve from informal artifacts into processable knowledge representations. In contrast to predefined modeling approaches, Scene2Model supports the adaptation of modeling constructs during runtime. By utilizing conceptual models for information retrieval and AI-based processing, they act as an interface between human-centered design and machine-processable knowledge. The platform perspective further enables the reuse and integration of modeling capabilities across application contexts. Illustrative cases demonstrate the potential for linking co-creative design with model-driven and AI-driven information systems development.

Scene2Model as a Platform for Digital Design Thinking
Design thinking enables collaborative innovation by supporting stakeholders in externalizing knowledge through haptic artifacts. However, these artifacts remain informal and are difficult to integrate into conceptual modeling and AI-supported information systems development. This paper positions Scene2Model as a platform for digital design thinking, in which multimodal inputs are transformed into adaptive conceptual models. These models represent digital twins of design thinking that evolve from informal artifacts into processable knowledge representations. In contrast to predefined modeling approaches, Scene2Model supports the adaptation of modeling constructs during runtime. By utilizing conceptual models for information retrieval and AI-based processing, they act as an interface between human-centered design and machine-processable knowledge. The platform perspective further enables the reuse and integration of modeling capabilities across application contexts. Illustrative cases demonstrate the potential for linking co-creative design with model-driven and AI-driven information systems development.
