Capturing and interacting with design history

To form a deep understanding of the present; we need to
find and engage history. We present an informal history
capture and retrieval mechanism for collaborative, early-
stage information design. This history system is
implemented in the context of the Designers Outpost, a
wall-scale, tangible interface for collaborative web site
design. The interface elements in this history system are
designed to be fluid and comfortable for early-phase design.
As demonstrated by an informal lab study with six
professional designers, this history system enhances the
design process itself, and provides new opportunities for
reasoning about the design of complex artifacts.
