Portable Tool for Finalizing Freehand Drawings : Activity Analysis and Design Requirements

Abstract

Within a multidisciplinary team of designers, architects and mechanical engineers, and ergonomists, we participate in a research project (ICC) in design and creative interface. This paper describes a participative and iterative approach and reviews the results of field studies involved in the design of a portable tool for finalizing freehand drawings. The results are discussed in terms of Activity Theory and its contribution to this field.Peer reviewe
