Project 0: COLLABORATIVE IDEATION (due Sept 18)

Design of Digitally Augmented Collaborative Ideation Tools

For this first project assignment, please work solo to design a new collaborative ideation tool. Your presentation of this project will serve as your introduction to the other students and should facilitate team forming for the later projects, which will be done in teams.

Your project idea could address any aspect of the collaborative ideation process – e.g. brainstorming, sketching ideas, organizing and sharing ideas, and physical prototyping – in either collocated or remote settings. It should also combine the physical and digital worlds to represent bits and atoms at the same time.

Deliverables for this assignment:

  • A working prototype is not required. You may also create a cardboard prototype, 3d visualization, lego model, video sketch, etc.
  • For this first presentation we will use a reduced PechaKucha-style format. You should show 10 slides for 20 seconds each (or a video no longer than 150 seconds), and we will have 2 minutes of Q&A, resulting in a rapid-fire presentation of 5 minutes and 20 seconds per person.
  • Please introduce yourself briefly with the first slides.
  • Slides/presentation including information on the design, prototype and some related work.
  • Projects have to be documented on the class website. Please log in with the user account you should have received via email, and post your slides and description using the category “— Project 0: COLLABORATIVE IDEATION”. Your project documentation on the class website is due on presentation day by noon (Sept. 18th).
