Developing a collaborative mind-mapping system through iterative exploration.
Streszczenie
Abstract:
Developed a mind-mapping system for VR and desktop platforms.
Used an iterative methodology with user groups to enhance interactions, communication, and gamification elements.
Reported observational findings from the design process.
Introduction:
Mind maps aid in collaborative sensemaking tasks.
VR offers immersive experiences for mind mapping.
Limited research on mind-mapping tools in immersive environments.
System Design Iterations:
Baseline System Design:
Virtual sticky notes represent nodes connected by links.
Shared environment facilitates synchronized updates across users.
Intuitive physical movements for navigation implemented.
Interaction Design:
Hand gestures used for editing in VR without controllers.
Mouse-driven interactions in the desktop system.
Situational Awareness:
Clone indicator helps identify same nodes across collaborators' mind maps.
Miniature overview provides visibility of individual workspaces.
Spatial Placement:
2D panels support placement and arrangement of sticky notes.
Snap zone facilitates automatic attachment of notes to panels.
Gamification:
Measures cooperation behaviors and efficiency to promote engagement.
Real-time feedback visualized on a dashboard with game sound effects.
Observations & Discussions:
Positive effects observed from clone indicator feature.
2D panels used creatively for various purposes by users.
Gamification stimulated users to construct mind maps together efficiently.
Conclusion:
Collaborative mind-mapping system developed through iterative design process enhancing natural interactions, situational awareness, spatial placement, and active engagement.
