Online Survey on Remote Sketching on Paper

[heho]

Dear Designers,

We are working on a bachelor-project in collaboration between the Human Computer Interaction Group at the University of Konstanz and the Institute for Information Systems at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH).
The main focus of the project is to investigate how actions of sketching, free design and handwriting on standard paper can be electronically transmitted over the internet in parallel to voice or video communication - Imagine you would be able to freely design on a paper sheet and your drawings would be automatically transmitted over the internet to your design partner(s) (remote partner) in a digital form so that he could be able to instantly watch the sketch on the display - The project will analyse different aspects of remote sketching over paper taking into consideration both technical and social issues.
Before implementing the prototype we want to analyse users' needs carefully and therefore ask you, your colleagues about your needs and requirements when working with this kind of system. We would like to find out how users would use the sketching tool, and what features should be provided, respectively.

Therefore we are conducting an online survey. The survey takes about 10 minutes and your collaboration is very crucial for the success of our project!

All data collected will remain confidential and no individual responses will be reported. The raw data will be used for statistical analysis.

If possible we kindly ask you to advertise this online survey ( Befrager ) on your internal mailing list.

Thank you so much for your time and participation.
