Resumen de ActiveNavigator: toward real-time knowledge capture and feedback in design workspaces
Dylan Moore, Xiao Ge, David Sirkin
Knowledge capture and reuse systems, such as interactive table surfaces or smart whiteboards, have long enabled designersto review and revisit the knowledge artifacts generated by their creative work. Advances in data sensing and computationnow allow near real-time analysis and feedback to be added this toolbox. In this paper, we outline our exploratoryapplication of real-time speaker identification, audio transcription, linguistic analysis, and proactive content retrieval todesign team meetings. We highlight the potential benefits and limitations of tools available to collect and analyze real-timedesign interactions and identify areas of future exploration for engineering educators and designers. In addition, weconsider the implications of these tools for design research; automatic data analysis makes it possible to instrument severaldesign workspaces simultaneously, increasing the chance of capturing critical moments, and increasing the opportunity todraw comparisons and contrasts across teams.
