AffinityTable - A Hybrid Surface for Supporting Affinity Diagramming
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using affinity diagramming as an example, we investigate interaction techniques for supporting collaborative design activities. Based on an observational study, we identified design guidelines that need to be addressed to find a close fit to embodied practice. Using this knowledge, we designed and implemented AffinityTable, a hybrid surface for supporting affinity diagramming. The tool combines digital pen & paper with an interactive table and tangible tokens. An additional vertical display is used to support reflection and group coordination.

Studying Group Decision Making in Affinity Diagramming
Affinity diagramming is a commonly used contextual design practice for which many tools have been developed. However, experts and novices alike eschew tool use, instead using traditional paper and whiteboard methods. This paper presents observations of traditional affinity diagramming sessions, focusing on three areas of consideration—shared awareness, cognitive offloading, and understanding, o...
متن کاملUsing Multiple Display Environments for Affinity Diagramming
Affinity diagramming is a commonly used contextual design practice in the development of interactive systems. Currently many tools exist that attempt to support the process of designing. However, experts and novices alike eschew tool use, instead preferring traditional paper and whiteboard methods. In this paper, we explore the potential of using Multiple Display Environments (MDEs) for the pro...
متن کاملMultiple brown tumors in a patient with parathyroid adenoma depicting affinity for both 99mTc -pertechnetate and 99mTc-MIBI: Evaluation with hybrid SPECT/CT
Parathyroid adenoma involving a single parathyroid gland is the underlying cause of 80-85% of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Skeletal system is significantly affected by PHPT. Brown tumors are known to have affinity for 99mTc-MIBI. We report a rare case of PHPT presenting with diffuse bony pain, high calcium level and significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase level. 99m<...
متن کاملExperimental evidence for diagramming benefits in science writing
Arguing for the need for a scientific research study (i.e. writing an introduction to a research paper) poses significant challenges for students. When faced with these challenges, students often generate overly safe replications (i.e. fail to find and include opposition to their hypothesis) or in contrast include no strong support for their hypothesis (i.e. relevant, valid evidence). How can w...
متن کاملAutomated Tool Support for a Large Scale Diagramming Tool
GRACE is a large-scale diagramming tool constructed with the aid of automated tools from the Design Maintenance System (DMS ). Diagramming tools as a component of meta-case tools are common in the development of new software engineering projects. The design and development of GRACE addresses the development of a large-scale diagramming tool for the software maintenance area. The nature of legac...
