Abstract
Paper-and-pencil still remains the favourite tool for designers, especially in the initial ideation phase. Computer-based tools are not considered suitable for this phase because of their lack of intuitivity. We are attempting to develop a new sketching tool based on an understanding of the traditional work practices of designers. This paper presents our understanding of sketching practices in industrial design domain and describes how we derived the functional requirements for a new sketching device using the contextual inquiry method.
