Augmented Reality Tangible Interface for Distributed Design Review

Design review is a crucial step in the product creation process (PCP). In a design review, CAD software is often used to show the design result, however, CAD software's interface complexity frequently prevents diverse team members from directly interacting with the CAD models. This is further exacerbated when the design review is conducted in distributed fashion. The goal of this paper is to consider an alternative to 2D desktop based interfaces for design review, called augmented tangible interface (ATI). Moreover, as a continuation of our previous work, this paper describes the use and the implementation of the ATI for distributed design review
