An AR-method for documenting LEGO Serious Play models

Abstract

LEGO Serious Play (LSP) supports the facilitation of creative communication with various methods (e.g. team-building or strategy development) that are successfully used for more than 15 years. Nevertheless, it is missing a process for documenting the outcome of the workshops. Therefore, participants or an assistant of the facilitator take hand-written notes within the workshops. As these are personal notes of the participants, they are most likely not feasible as a documentation for people who did not attend at the workshop. On the other hand, many applications use augmented reality (AR) to add information to real world objects. In this paper, we try to develop a method for documentation of LSP artefacts with AR. Our focus is on the one hand on the process of producing the documentation and on the other hand on the interaction with an AR prototype for 3D positioning of annotations using Microsoft's HoloLens.
