Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
Our work lies at the intersection of preliminary design and tabletop groupware. We have constructed our own prototype, named the TATIN table, to begin developing applications for design teams. During the design of our system, through an extensive literature review we have indentified the early preliminary design phase of a project to be the area where interactive tabletops would make the greatest impact. Next, we developed software for group brainstorming sessions and conducted extensive usability experiments using this software. During the experiments, we administered subjective questionnaires and obtained extensive video footage of the session. We present our techniques for the analysis of these videos and report our results on collaboration and communication in this environment.
