Abstract

Distributed collaboration systems use cloud computing services to support synchronous and asynchronous distributed collaboration. We are investigating how the benefits of these remote collaboration technologies can be applied to collocated creative teams. We are building Dazzle, a collaboration system to support product design teams during face-to-face user research and brainstorming meetings. Product designers share information on a common display that is driven by file and screen sharing services. The principal benefit over current display sharing techniques is that the team automatically builds a real-time archive of all viewed files that can be revisited. By applying distributed collaboration technologies to face-to-face meetings, Dazzle facilitates information sharing and provides automatic meeting documentation.
