Today, the development of new technologies due to the 4th industrial revolution requires work performance methods such as non-face-to-face collaboration. In response to this, various VR collaboration tools are emerging, but VR collaboration tools for brainstorming, which are used in collaboration or design development work, are not provided. Therefore, despite the advantages and possibilities of VR for non-face-to-face collaboration, there are limitations in practical use. Accordingly, the development of VR collaboration tools in a digitalized work environment is necessary, and research on UI design development for this is required. The purpose of this study is to propose a VR collaboration tool prototype by developing an interaction UI design that applies user hand behavior elements that appear during collaboration sessions through user research. This study was a qualitative study. The research method was to conduct user research through observation and in-depth interviews, and as a result of analyzing the data obtained from this, five types of user hand behavior elements were derived. In this study, an interaction UI design was developed that reflects hand gestures as behavioral elements. And using Unity and the Oculus Integration SDK Kit, we created a prototype VR collaboration tool that can be used without a controller. As a result of conducting a user evaluation of the prototype produced in this study, it was found that users had difficulty making hand gestures accurately, and it was possible to find areas for improvement in UI design. It is expected that this study will help develop interaction UI design for VR collaboration tools that can increase work efficiency.

Most commercially available collaboration support systems are not proper for small enterprises in a specific area such as small e-design companies, because they are focused on general functionalities, required by most large enterprises. In this paper, we analyze the requirements for improving communication environments of small e-design companies, and propose an advanced communication management tool which reflects those requirements. The communication platform focuses the acknowledgement process by customer and the schedule sharing and management between project members. The proposed system suggest a new research direction which supports the systematic collaboration with external entities such as customers rather than the unsystematic collaboration between internal members, and improves the communication environment of those small e-design companies that are desperately in need of a cost-effective way to carry out projects, and will help in the process of successful projects.

The epidemic of COVID19 caused a big change in design collaboration, which has been conducting using face-to-face interaction. Designers actively used video conferencing and online document tools in situations where face-to-face meetings were difficult, and this gave them an opportunity to experience that non-face-to-face collaboration can be more effective in a specific design process. In this regard, this study attempted to find out which activities during the design process are more compelling in face-to-face collaboration or non-face-to-face collaboration. To do this, three user experience design projects conducted after the COVID19 epidemic were analyzed through a retrospective interview method. As a result, during four design stages, 'Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver', face-to-face collaboration is necessary for the areas that require creative problem solving through active interaction. In contrast, non-face-to-face collaboration is preferred and more effective when designers need their own space and proceed their design work. In addition, the aspects of design tools supporting non-face-to-face collaboration were also illustrated. Findings discovered through this study are expected to contribute to research on the design process later.

원격 3차원 디자인 협업 환경이란 원거리에 있는 디자이너들이 3차원 모델을 함께 동시적으로 다루는 협업 환경으로서, 제품 개발 프로세스의 비용과 시간을 단축하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 이에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이며 기존의 연구들도 2차원 데스크탑 환경에 제한된 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 새로운 협업 환경의 제안을 통해 지리적으로 떨어진 디자이너들간의 3D 모델에 관한 원활한 협업을 촉진하는 것을 목표로 한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 증강현실 기반의 원격 3차원 디자인 협업 환경은 3D 모델의 공유를 위한 회전 원반(turntable)과 상대의 위치 및 제스처 정보를 제공하는 가상 그림자(virtual shadows)로 구성된다. 동시적으로 회전하는 회전원반은 물리적인 매개체로서 가상물체와 실제 세계를 자연스럽게 연결하는 동시에 상대의 실재감을 높인다. 가상그림자는 가상물체 주위로 보여지는 사람들의 손과 팔의 움직임을 시각화하여 공유하는 것으로, 상대의 위치뿐 아니라 지시, 제스처 등 행동에 대한 인식이 지속적으로 이루어지게 한다. 프로토타입을 제작하고 사용자 평가 실험을 실시하여 3차원 모델을 검토하는 단계에 그 유용성이 있음을 확인하였다. 데스크탑 환경의 모델링 툴에 익숙한 사용자들은 실제 공간에서 가상물체를 조작할 수 있음에 긍정적인 반응을 보였고 회전원반과 가상그림자의 제공은 태스크 수행의 정확도를 높이며 협업을 촉진하는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구는 환경적 제약으로 원활하게 이루어지지 못했던 3D 모델에 관한 원격 협업에 의사소통의 장을 마련하고 이를 촉진시킨다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다. 본 환경에서 제시한 상대방과 협업대상물에 대한 심리적, 물리적 공유 감을 증대시키는 방법들은 3D 모델에 관한 디자인 협업에서 확장되어 다른 원격 협업을 지원하는 데도 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

사용자 중심의 디자인 패러다임이 도래하면서 점차 사용성 진단이 제품 혹은 서비스의 전체 개발 프로세스 상에서 필수적인 절차이며 이를 통해 사용자의 경험 품질 향상을 모색할 수 있다는 인식이 확산되고 있다. 실제로도 제품 개발 과정의 한 꼭지로서 사용자 리서치를 수행하는 기업이 점차 증가되고 있지만, 리서치를 통해 도출된 결과가 실제 제품 개발에 얼마나 효과적으로 반영되는지에 대해서는 의문을 가지게 된다. 이러한 의문을 품게 된 이유는 사용자 리서치 결과가 실제 제품이나 서비스에 적용된 정도가 크지 않은 경우를 종종 목격하였기 때문이다. 이러한 주요 원인 중 하나로서 리서치 결과가 실무 담당자들에게 전달되는 과정에서 발생될 수 있는 해석 상의 차이 때문일 것이라는 가설을 가지고 사용성 진단 리서치 프로세스의 변화를 시도해 보았다. 다시 말하면, 실제 현장에서 단기간 동안 진행되는 사용자 리서치를 통해 보다 효과적으로 그 결과를 활용할 수 있는 방안으로 리서치 진행자와 실무 담당자간 협업 프로세스 작업 단계인 협업 디자인 워크샵(co-designing workshop)을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 협업 디자인 워크샵 프로세스의 소개를 목적으로 하였으며, 본 연구의 결과가 사용성 진단 리서치 결과의 활용도 및 가치를 향상시키고, 사용자의 입장을 대변하는 리서처의 책임과 역할을 충실히 수행하는데 도움이 될 수 있기를 기대한다.

Collaboration has become essential in the product design process due to internationalized and specialized business environments. This study presents a real-time collaborative 3D design workspace for distributed designers, focusing on the development and the evaluation of new interaction techniques supporting nonverbal communication such as awareness of participants, shared manipulation and tele-presence. Requirements were identified in terms of shared objects, shared workspaces and awareness through literature reviews and an observational study. An Augmented Reality based collaborative design workspace was developed, in which two main interaction techniques, Turn-table and Virtual Shadow, were incorporated to support shared manipulation and tele-presence. Turn-table provides intuitive shared manipulation of 3D models and physical cues for awareness of remote participants. Virtual shadow supports natural and continuous awareness of location, gestures and pointing of partners. A lab-based evaluation was conducted and the results showed that interaction techniques effectively supported awareness of general pointing and facilitated discussion in 3D model reviews. The workspace and the interaction techniques can facilitate more natural communication and increase the efficiency of collaboration on virtual 3D models between distributed participants (designer-designer, engineer, or modeler) in collaborative design environments.
