“…In co-design settings, sketching enhances design problem solving by enhancing collaboration, supporting short- and long-term memory, lateral thinking, and enabling cycles of generation and re-interpretation. 12 In other instances, sketching was shown as not strongly influential for reciprocal re-interpretations of each other’s ideas in a collaborative setting, however contributing more to individual creative process, and accessing and enhancing earlier ideas. 13…”

IntroductionThe mouse, based on the two-dimensional (2D) x-y coordinate system, was adopted as the standard input model for graphical interaction. Planar and pen/tablet-based interactions and multi-touch interfaces, which are similarly 2D, are commonly used by three-dimensional (3D) design software. These models of interaction increase the complexity of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and make it difficult to design and interact within the 3D space. Also, they only provide a window of the 3D content, making impossible for the user to master spatial configuration and proportions. Although Virtual Reality (VR) seems to be a solution to this AbstractHybrid Virtual Environment 3D (Hyve-3D) is a system that allows architectural co-design inside Virtual Reality by a new model of interaction through a 3D cursor. It augments the concept of the cursor to better interact with threedimensional virtual spaces, rethinking it as a drawing/control plane and viewpoints inside the virtual world. Handheld tablets intuitively manipulate 3D cursors. Users can simultaneously access their individual complementary views on the tablets as personal windows into the shared immersive display. They can concurrently sketch in three dimensions, transform, and manipulate three-dimensional objects using the tablets as tangible props and collectively navigate the scene using the tablet as a 3D trackpad. The system implementation and co-design assessments of different settings are presented.

“…Sketching in this respect makes reference to ambiguity [26] for the ideation sketch is intended as a queryable structure -because of its nonfinal state it can be edited and discussed. Sketched ideation can also be participatory [17], involve working with novices and the public [7,63], or be captured to inform the design of new software [58]. Ideation from the participant approach can then further be elaborated upon to create meaningful research inquiry [63].…”

Creating visual imagery helps us to situate ourselves within unknown worlds, processes, make connections, and find solutions. By exploring drawn ideas for novel technologies, we can examine the implications of their place in the world. Drawing, or sketching, for future inquiry in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) can be a stand-alone investigative approach, part of a wider 'worldbuilding' in design fiction, or simply ideation around a concept. By examining instances of existing practice in HCI, in this paper we establish recommendations and rationales for those wishing to utilise sketching and drawing within their research. We examine approaches ranging from ideation, diagramming, scenario building, comics creation and artistic representation to create a model for sketching and drawing as future inquiry for HCI. This work also reflects on the ways in which these arts can inform and elucidate research and practice in HCI, and makes recommendations for the field, within its teaching, processes and outcomes.

“…As mentioned before, sketching has traditionally been central to the design‐oriented disciplines of architecture, engineering and visual communication. Craft and Cairns elaborate in this context that sketching is particularly successful method for creativity and acts as an aid to memory during problem solving (Craft and Cairns, 2009). Drawing upon the work of Landay and Myers (1995) they emphasize that sketching aids evaluation of design ideas by preventing individuals and teams from focusing on unimportant low‐level details and allowing them to concentrate on the larger conceptual issues at hand.…”

PurposeIn this paper, the authors aim to review the benefits of sketching or ad‐hoc, collaborative hand drawings for knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, and knowledge documentation.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a comprehensive literature review in the fields of design, psychology, and computer science that documents the multiple advantages of sketch‐based approaches for managing knowledge in organizations, especially on the team‐level. The authors argue for the complementary use of this “low‐tech knowledge management” approach with existing digital infrastructures and tools. The literature survey is based on a search for the title term “sketching” on the ISI Web of Knowledge online database. After topic filtering and eliminating all articles where sketching was used in the sense of a project proposal or a theoretical sketch, there were only 48 articles left related to the keyword “sketching”. Based on the authors' awareness of important contributions in the field of sketching, which did not appear in the database search, they extended their inclusion criteria to include grey or conference literature and examined the reference sections of highly cited articles. The article concludes with a set of propositions for practitioners regarding the use of sketching in different knowledge management contexts and with implications for future research in this area.FindingsKnowledge creation contexts, such as innovation management or problem solving sessions, provide participants with the opportunity to jointly devise large scale sketches in order to integrate their views and experiences on joint frameworks. Knowledge sharing situations, such as in team briefings or debriefings, in hand‐over processes, or in strategic alliances, equip all participants with pens and paper tablecloths to augment their knowledge dialogues with visible means that facilitate interaction and turn‐taking, increase vividness and memorability, and allow for an authentic and personal follow‐up documentation.Research limitations/implicationsAn implication for research is to study sketching in knowledge management through interdisciplinary research efforts. This could be done by paying attention to the way that digital and hand‐drawn sketches affect interactions differently among professionals and the way that they share, defend, and integrate their knowledge. Specifically researchers with a background in organizational psychology could work jointly with human computer interaction specialists to study differences among analogue and digital sketching activities. In this way one can learn about the respective advantages and risks of hand‐drawn versus computer‐supported sketching for knowledge‐intensive group collaboration tasks.Originality/valueThe literature review resulted in an extended list of benefits which support three relevant tasks in knowledge management, namely knowledge creation, knowledge sharing and knowledge documentation. This compilation shows simple and effective ways in which the use of hand drawings can enhance exi...
