| Mini-Project Teams of designers are quick to mark their territory. Sometimes this is with moving the furniture around, sometimes it is with making a constant loudscape that shows clearly this is their territory. Their territory is populated with artifacts they have created, borrowed, reproduced, and which are mounted on walls or sides of cupboards or are cluttering the working surface. Designers collaborating, team up and dissolve to work individually very fluently, they connect over the internet to share documents, print a lot of materials and make appointments with each other and with external parties. Still apart from their laptops and their access to internet their world is rather low tech: marker pens, flipcharts and tinkering materials rather than a collaborative virtual environment and ambient intelligence, which they are often busy creating. Perhaps immersive technologies are not what they need to improve their work - but perhaps also some modern technological developments can support collocated groupware and especially creative design work. This project is about designing interactive solutions that help collocated creative teams work together. How could their room and furniture change so that it supports their creative processes? What kind of interaction styles are needed to facilitate such interaction? How can we ensure that different people working on different parts of a large wall sized display do not interfere with each other's work-or even better are aware of what each other is doing? How can the technology be helpful to their efforts rather than get in the way? You are invited to study the work practices of collocated teams, the materials they use, the current patterns of interaction when they are collocated and how could these be supported. You may consider any type of enabling technology that is available currently and that could serve your purposes with some reasonable level of integration and application development. |
