A chapter in Design Thinking Research, 2018, pp 131-145 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract While many systems have been designed to support collaboration around visual thinking tools, much less work has investigated how to share and collaboratively design physical prototypes—an important part of the design process. We describe preliminary results from a formative study on how designers communicate and collaborate in design meetings around physical and digital artifacts. Addressing some limitations in current collaboration platforms and drawing guidelines from our study, we introduce a new prototype platform for remote collaboration. This platform leverages the use of augmented reality (AR) for rendering of the remote participant and a pair of linked actuated tabletop tangible interfaces that acts as the participant’s shared physical workspace. We propose the use of actuated tabletop tangibles to synchronously render complex shapes and to act as physical input.
