“…Cabinet [9] supports the digitization of physical objects by using an overhead camera and organizing the captured images with digital document on an interactive table. The Tangible Archive [3] supports designers with connecting one or more digital files to a physical object, tagged with RFID tags.…”

Figure 1: Left to right: We took inspiration from galleries where artifacts are put on meaningful places; Artifacts are placed on a motorized, augmented platform; A web-interface provides remote access; Captured artifacts provide a history for comparison. ABSTRACTIndustrial designers have a tangible working style. However, compared to digital data, physical mockups are difficult to copy and share over distance. They require a lot of physical space, and earlier versions are lost once they are modified. In this paper, we introduce Catch-Up 360, a tool designed for sharing physical mockups over distance to gain feedback from remote located designers, and compare current models with earlier versions. Summarizing, our approach provides a simple, intuitive, and tangible UI that supports the use of lightweight, web-based clients by using remote manipulation of the physical objects.

“…The lack of such knowledge is being increasingly recognized and a number of recent studies have explored new approaches, see e.g. the design case study with the Drift Table [16], the TViews storytelling workshops [12], the Finger talk study [20], the field study with the Cabinet system [21,22], and the evaluation of the RASA system [13]. This latter system augments the paper tools that are used in commands posts (a large map with Post-Its that represent different military units) with digital information.…”

Traditional desktop computers are known to offer insufficient functionality to designers. They are often complemented by penbased tablet devices in order to better support key activities such as sketching and modeling. However, even such extended systems are restricted, as they insufficiently support other key activities of individual designers and design teams, such as collecting and sorting inspirational material, viewing and manipulating 3D models, brainstorming, discussing or presenting. Advanced visual interfaces, such as augmented surfaces, have been proposed as being potentially complimentary in this respect, as they can support multi-user interaction, bimanual interaction (even in 3D), and a better integration between physical and digital media. In this paper, we present Design TeamMate, a system in which individual workstations of designers are fluently integrated with an augmented tabletop and wall display. We discuss how this platform can support a wide range of individual and group design activities.We review some related research on augmented surfaces, with a focus on single user and multi-user applications which have extensively and/or formally been tested with end users.The idea of combining the naturalness and efficiency of interacting with physical media on the surface of a (horizontal) desk with the flexibility of digital media presented on a computer

“…In this study we use Muller's description: "Designers form new ideas while glancing through magazines and collections and intuitively selecting images and composing them together" (Muller, 2001). This is what Keller et al (2006) describe as: "to organize visual material and find new insights in the order that comes from that." Moodboards make effective use of the richness of graphics expressions readily found in magazines.…”

“…For photorealistic presentations of details this would be a problem, but in early sketching these imprecisions and distortions are a positive quality. The rough and ambiguous projection that occurs when moving the objects in the projected light and seeing patterns and graphics deform on the physical objects will result in deliberate and accidental indeterminacies, leading to serendipitous discoveries (Keller et al, 2006) of unexpected new combinations.…”

“…InstantTemplates was built as a tool to support sketching physical interactions by letting designers draw over projected photographs, similar to practice in traditional drawing classes where templates are commonly used as a background underneath the drawing paper. In a similar fashion, Cabinet (Keller et al, 2006) is a tool for merging collections of digital and physical visual materials. It consists of a table interface on which digital images are spatially grouped; it thereby provides a nonverbal way of entry, search, and retrieval.…”

Industrial designers make sketches and physical models to start and develop ideas and concept designs. Such representations have advantages that they support fast, intuitive, rich, sensory exploration of solutions. Although existing tools and techniques provide adequate support where the shape of the product is concerned, the exploration of surface qualities such as material and printed graphics is supported to a much lesser extent. Moreover, there are no tools that have the fluency of sketching that allow combined exploration of shape, material, and their interactions. This paper evaluates Skin, an augmented reality tool designed to solve these two shortcomings. By projecting computer-generated images onto the shape model Skin allows for a "sketchy" tangible interaction where designers can explore surface qualities on a three-dimensional physical shape model. The tool was evaluated in three design situations in the domain of ceramics design. In each case, we found that the joint exploration of shape and surface provided creative benefits in the form of new solutions; in addition, a gain in efficiency was found in at least one case. The results show that joint exploration of shape and surface can be effectively supported with tangible augmented reality techniques and suggest that this can be put to practical use in industry today.
