Abstract

A model of human-machine design interaction is presented. The model is based on synchrony of actions [Mitchell95a] as it relates to designing, presenting, and discussing a design object over an electronic medium. The model descriptively accommodates existing technologies and areas of CAD research. The model prescriptively illuminates future CAD vis. the Web. The model is based on 3 factors: synchrony, presence, activity; and 2 players: human and machine. Future technologies are considered in terms of the a shifting role of the machine (the computer and the net) from server to agent to actor.
