Abstract

We seek to investigate how co-located group brainstorming could be enhanced through computational tools that leverage gestures and voice cues. To pursue this goal we are developing a computer mediated brainstorming environment that utilizes reality-based interaction techniques and sensor-driven Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) tracking group engagement to computationally augment existing brainstorming practices. In this paper, we report the results of a preliminary user study of brainstorming practices that indicate that gesture and voice data can serve as signals for group brainstorming success.
