SCWID: A Tool for Supporting Creative Work In Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer tools offer enormous benefits for the early design process such as remote collaboration, advanced visualization, and the ability to run a design. However, current tools fail to support many elements of creative problem solving, inhibiting the early design process. From the literature on design theory and creativity, and extensive low-fidelity prototyping, we developed SCWID: a tool for Supporting Creative Work In Design. SCWID uses a large display to provide a shared visual context for alternative design ideas and multiple local displays for sketching details, navigating a particular idea, and manipulating alternatives. Grounded in creativity theory, the use of our tool facilitates creative thinking in the early stages of design for individual and groups of designers.
