Collaborative Design Studio : a sketch - based environment to support rich distant collaboration
نویسندگان
چکیده
An increasing number of large scale projects requires that distant teams collaborate together remotely. At the same time, the current CAD tools only offer minimal support for partial and asynchronous interactions. The application we propose enables full synchronous and remote sketch-based collaborative design. This setup is a combination of a virtual desktop (a remote meeting table), a standard videoconference system, a gesture recognition module and a networked, real-time, collaborative drawing software (SketSha). The solution as a whole is multimodal in essence (gestures, speech, drawing...) supporting immersive remote collaborative design.

Use of Graphical Modality in a Collaborative Design Distant Setting
In this paper, we present an original environment, the Distributed Collaborative Design Studio (DCDS) which allows multimodal real-time remote exchanges, and which aims at re-creating remotely the conditions of co-present meetings. This environment associates a videoconference tool (supporting verbal and non-verbal communication) and an original realtime shared digital hand-drawn sketches syste...
متن کاملInvisible computer for collaborative design: evaluation of a multimodal sketch-based environment.
In the areas of design, especially in architectural design, collaboration has become an important challenge. The specialization of skills increase, work teams are more and more extensive and the geographic distance between them increases too. The economic and ecological stakes related to remote collaboration are an evidence. This context involves the need to support most efficiently possible re...

This paper presents a new supporting tool for distant collaborative design, named SketSha. This prototype supports the early stages of design and more particularly the initial and crucial step of free-hand sketching. SketSha and its particular interface, named the virtual desktop, aim to keep from FrontTo-Front collaborative work all the benefits and to appoint to them some of the nowadays IT f...
متن کاملQuality of collaboration in a distant collaborative architectural educational setting
This paper describes an experiment of collaborative distant architectural studio and the analysis of the quality of collaboration of two groups of student. Based on a simple method to assess this quality of collaboration, we show the main results, and discuss the interests of the method and some insight to the understanding of mechanisms of collaboration.

Aim of this paper is to search and find ways and methods of constructivism teaching and learning ideas inteaching the architectural design studio. The objective is to extract all the positive things constructivism has to offer the architectural design studio for efficient teaching and effective learning. Although there are similarities in the curricula of training architects all over the world,...
