First experiment with Mediated Sketching

Here you find a movieclip and photo's of the first experimenst with the two mediated sketching tables in the presence lab in MArch 2012.

Each table offered a sketching surface and a visual & audio communication channel
Different kinds of light compete
Discussing between the two tables to identify what happens
Looking at each other while hands try to draw together
The impact of colored lines with the pen do not match the impact of colored lines of the projeced drawing of the other.
As result the difference between one's own lines and the lines of the other causes a design friction. Also, this is difference in lines is hard to photograph.
Ultimately one should not only sketch, but actually move objects to negotiate what is at stake
