Abstract

Design Daydreams is part of a suite of new computational design tools that integrate ambiguity and juxtaposition into the systems that we use to discover new ideas. Using a low-tech augmented reality system to visually overlay digital images on top of objects, the Design Daydreams augmented? post-it note'fluidly extends the inspiration designers find online into the physically-interactive and collaborative brainstorming environment. Feedback suggested that the low-fidelity of the tool provided a natural ambiguity that left room for interpretation as designers juxtaposed digital and physical concepts together to create new ideas.
