CDR DesignSpace: Project vs. Prototype

DesignSpace

Project vs. Concept Prototype

This page is under construction.
Please excuse the dust and debris.


DesignSpace, as a CDR project, represents:
  1. an evolving concept to facilitate the communication of design ideas between humans, between machines, and between human and machine with a spatial model;
  2. a common thread for all projects at the Virtual Space Exploration Lab;
  3. a reference point linking some very diverse and specific technology development to the core of CDR's major purpose;
  4. an HCI case study of a spatial user interface applied to general computing.

DesignSpace, as a prototype system, represents:
  1. a conceptual design environment facilitating continuous spatial input and output, including manual interaction, for manipulating design parameters with spatial characteristics;
  2. a linkable system to facilitate remote collaborative design;
  3. a flexible research testbed that can test technologies as well as design theories and methods;
  4. an example application demo for emerging virtual environment technologies being developed at CDR;
  5. a design concept of a future work environment where the human-computer hardware interface has been minimized and replaced with software.
