Designing A Co-creative Communication Experience Utilizing Collaborative Drawing System

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to enable users to experience co-creative communication with a distant partner using multiple drawing systems. To share information in real-time is worth generating new ideas and stimulating communication, however, COVID-19 has made face-to-face communication difficult. Thus, it is necessary to realize an environment where people can communicate even at a distance. From these backgrounds, we developed a co-creative drawing system inspired by “performance calligraphy.” The performance calligraphy is a collaborative drawing with someone attending on body action. With this system, multiple users can draw together even when users are in different locations. This paper presents our developed system and evaluates the usability of this system.
