Co-creation using multitouch surfaces

By Geke Ludden | In Concepten algemeen, concepten | Geen reacties.

We are currently working on concepts in four concept areas, named ‘Nomadic Working’, ‘Decision Making’, ‘Have a break’ and ‘Co-creation’. This post is dedicated to the last area, Co-creation. Within this area we have generated ideas on how people can work together using multitouch surfaces. Part of this work is done in collaboration with SoCo. A large multi-touch wall is currently under development and we are eager to start developing the right tools that can help people to work together more efficiently. The scenarios (and comics) presented here illustrate our first ideas about how such tools could work.

Below we present two comics illustrating why using a multitouch surface can help people to work together more efficiently. Furthermore, two interaction scenarios are depicted:

  • Co-creation using multitouch
  • Co-creation using multitouch at a distance




    • An interactive display that can be used by multiple people can facilitate working together:

    Co-creation using a multitouch wall – scenario for interaction


     

    Harry and Sally have planned a brainstorm session together. To do so, they use the multitouch wall in their office. The Co-create application on the multitouch wall comprises a co-creation space as well as personal working spaces for current users. The personal working space contains links to e.g., flickr or delicious accounts, desktop, frequently used folders.

    Interactive displays can also be used to work together at a distance:

    Bob works at Novay Amsterdam, Anne works at Novay Enschede. Bob and Anne have scheduled a co-creation session. They plan to go over a document together and make some changes. At a set timeframe, Bob and Anne go to a multitouch table in their offices. They select the application that facilitates working together at a distance. The tables now show a video of the person in the other city, both their calenders and a personal working space.
