The design process of an interaction design student is mostly collaborative and computer oriented. Based on this, it’s hard to believe that we have not yet found a tool that will facilitate our needs. With this in mind, which elements do we need to promote collaboration in a virtual design process?This thesis will include design processes, collaboration, creativity and virtual awareness, amongst others. We have also conducted observations and user tests, on which we have based our prototype. We explore which elements to transfer from the physical collaboration into a virtual collaboration to create mutual awareness. Although, we claim that too much awareness will disrupt the workflow of the group.There are a few functions we found to be fundamental for virtual collaboration, such as: pointing-tool, finding each other and tracking each other’s contributions. These functions were all included in our prototype for user testing.
