Abstract :
Traditional remote collaboration technologies and platforms are found restrained and cumbersome for supporting geographically dispersed design activities. This paper discusses some of these limitations and argues how these limitations could possibly impair efficient communication among designers. The paper also develops a model for supporting remote collaborative design among geographically distributed designers. This model is named spatial faithful groupware (SFG), which is based on single display groupware (SDG) model and mixed presence groupware (MPG) model. The SFG model is also demonstrated with justified discussions in an urban design scenario, as compared with SDG and MPG.
