The general task is to create , try out, and modify designs in any one of a variety of fields, from stage and exhibit design to costumes, fashion and architecture. Requirements might include: The facilitator assigns roles and moves participants in and out of the center stage, perhaps with a wand or motion capture system; Designs are displayed in multiple views to all participants, either on multiple screens or in some kind of immersive viewing arrangement; Creators can create in real-time at workstations or (better) with wand, virtual stylus, motion capture, etc.; In some cases, tactile, pressure, smell, or other sensors might convey the unique quality of a design or creation; Reactors can react both as a group and individually using feedback devices or through wide-angle motion sensing; in some cases, reactors may become creators, or shift their individual viewpoints of the designs separately from other reactors; reactions can be aggregated; “Co-creation” with large groups of creators/reactors is an interesting...
