The Collaborative Product Design and Help to Decision Making: Interactive Mind-Mapping

摘要

This chapter presents a state-of-the-art of design from the main definition to the more specific aspects of product design. We focus on communication problems and social aspects of the design process in a collaborative context. Afterward, we concentrate on the decision making problem in order to determine a work hypothesis in the mind-mapping area. In this chapter, we report the development of our idea which results in the conception of an interactive mind-mapping technique on a multi-touch table, called mindflow.
