Tangible Two-Way Communication Board for Active Group Collaboration
Group Members: Lisa Wang, Eunkwang Joo, Euiyoung Kim
Our product is a tangible two-way communication board aimed for multi-users who want to make active group collaboration as well as easy and quick information uploading/downloading. As an extension of our product concept, we want to be able to virtually turn any wall space into a working space for group collaboration.
Inspiration/Motivation
-Easy and quick idea sharing is the next big thing in multi-users’ collaboration. Idea sharing and collaboration should be done seamlessly without recognizing the action. We want to deliver physical metaphor into digital devices for intuitive uses.
- Our idea was triggered by observation 1) the scene doctor shows x-ray chart to patients. (e.g. doctors show patient’s X-ray/MRI charts on the white backlight wall with one hand. A sequence of quick chart wall attachments to facilitate in discussion and switching between multiple charts. 2) group communication in workplace.
