Thinking in space: concept physical models and the call for new digital tools Abstract.
This paper investigates the potential benefit of “gestural” and haptic (touch) interaction and stereovision
in computing for three-dimensional form conceptualisation and spatial reasoning in the germinal phase
of the design process. Specifications for suitable digital support will be extracted from current design
practice in concept design with the focus on "physical concept models". Potential advantages and
limitations will be briefly discussed and general directions for research outlined. |
