abstract = "A multi-touch-tabletop instrument combined with three-dimensional digitalized models is presented for design-collaborations and - communication tasks. By using intuitive gestures, the system allows users from various disciplines to communicate and share their ideas by manipulating the reference and their own input simultaneously. Our study shows that forms are perceived and understood more readily through haptic and proprioceptive perception of tangible representations. Our system provides increased potential to compensate for the low spatial cognition of its users. The paper describes our innovative integration by combining both model-based and participatory approaches with multi-touch tabletop system setups, which differs considerably from conventional visual representations for collaborative design. Our system brings the intuitive user interaction into virtual design activities, thus going beyond the common graphical user interfaces.",
