Abstract :
This paper presents an application for collaborative design of mobile prototypes, covering both prototyping and evaluation stages of design. Virtual design workspaces provide designers with the necessary mechanisms to build and test prototypes. Shared versions of these workspaces along with annotation mechanisms offer the ability to not only constitute collaborative design groups, but also perform group evaluation of the created prototypes. Evaluation provided positive feedback on the approach taken for the collaborative design tool.
