Wearable Environments vs Redesign

There are two options for my research to go forward. The first one is to continue with the wearable environments workshops and apply and test ASD principles and strategies in these workshops.
The second one is to find an existing system or tool and redesign it according to ASD.
The advantage of the former is that it makes the thesis more coherent and and provides more consistent picture about the research. On the other hand, in the latter case we can compare the outcomes of two different design processes and may argue about the connections between ASD and the observed difference or effects. Redesign of an existing system has also the advantage of being familiar to both participants of workshops and larger research community.
An alternative might be to find an existing case which is reasonably closer to the workshops 1 and 2 involving Enactive Coupler devices.
