ABSTRACT: The paper introduces a research based on an innovative multi-user tangible interface system that aims at introducing an instrument to improve the response phase of the decision-making process. The purpose is to set up and develop a decision support system to overcome some of the problems that are still causing inefficiency in the decision-making process and analyze the reactions of users upon the new introduced technology. The paper consists of two parts The first part of the describes theories upon which the research project is based, explain-ing why and how a multi-user tangible interface can help collaborative communication during crisis response, the chal-lenge, the chosen solution and the architecture. The second part describes how the presented solution will be tested to prove if the new system will be useful and accepted by users.
