DIGITAL SKETCHING IN A MULTI-ACTOR ENVIRONMENT

  • Conference paper
Design Computing and Cognition ’06

Abstract

The paper discusses digital sketching in the framework of multi-actor design processes. The discussion focuses on the registration, analysis and feedback of annotations made with digital pens on prints of CAD drawings and early stage sketching, both in synchronous and asynchronous situations. It is proposed that the main advantages of this form of digital sketching are the registration of syntagmatic information and the ability to distinguish between different actors. This makes it possible to identify meaningful entities and clarify issues of common authorship or emergence.
