Abstract

The Designer's Outpost is a tangible user interface that combines the affordances of paper and large physical workspaces with the advantages of electronic media to support information design of web sites. We are developing a system to support the practices used by designers during the early phases of information design. We have created and evaluated a low-fi prototype, and are implementing a revised design. Designers will interact with the system by writing on physical Post-it Notes, arranging them on the digital desk in related groups, and drawing links between them. The system tracks the Post-its using computer vision and captures links among Post-its and groups with a stylus.
