This study examines how specific collaborative features for independent viewpoint control, collaborative pointing, sketching, and manikin representations support design reviews in a virtual environment. Participants conducted design reviews using the collaborative design tool Gravity Sketch while engaging with these features. Results show that friction situations were minimal, with viewpoint control eliminating the need for perspective adjustments. Collaborative pointing and sketching effectively clarified design modifications, while manikin representations aided discussions on ergonomics. The findings highlight how the evaluated features facilitate communication in remote design reviews.

摘要

This study examines how specific collaborative features for independent viewpoint control, collaborative pointing, sketching, and manikin representations support design reviews in a virtual environment. Participants conducted design reviews using the collaborative design tool Gravity Sketch while engaging with these features. Results show that friction situations were minimal, with viewpoint control eliminating the need for perspective adjustments. Collaborative pointing and sketching effectively clarified design modifications, while manikin representations aided discussions on ergonomics. The findings highlight how the evaluated features facilitate communication in remote design reviews.
