Creativity is the source of all innovation. In a group setting, the different points of view and favored approaches of each participant can multiply constructive potential. Creativity tools help structure cooperation in groups and, thus, maximize group performance. In order for a device to provide natural and intuitive support in this setting, it is reasonable to fashion it as an interactive table. Therefore, this paper develops a concept for supporting group creativity by means of a tabletop computer system. Ways for inexpensive technological solutions are explored, but this work's main focus is on the design of a user interface with which to facilitate group cooperation in all its stages while observing the unique requirements of a tabletop system. A prototype is used to explicate the concepts resulting from this research.
