A Face-to-Face System for Supporting Mobile Collaborative Design Using Sketches and Pen-based Gestures
Gustavo Zurita, Nelson A. Baloian, Felipe Baytelman · 2006
This paper presents MCSketcher, a system that enables face-to-face collaborative design based on sketches using handheld devices equipped for spontaneous wireless peer-to-peer networking. It is especially targeted for supporting preliminary, in-the-field work, allowing designers to exchange ideas through sketches on empty sheets or over a recently taken photograph of the object being worked on, in a brainstorming-like working style. Pen-based designed human-computer interaction is the key to supporting collaborative work
