Effective designs rarely emerge from good structural design or aesthetics alone. It is more often the result of the end product's overall design integrity. Added to this, design is inherently an interdisciplinary collaborative activity. With this in mind, today's tools are not powerful enough to design complex physical environments, such as command control centers or hospital operating theaters. This paper presents the concept of employing projector-based augmented reality techniques to enhance interdisciplinary design processes.
