Towards Traceable Design Rationale in Augmented Reality

When new things, such as buildings or physical products, are designed, the design process typically explores multiple design alternatives and undergoes several iterations. The associated artefacts typically grow from low-fdelity prototypes , such as paper sketches, to high-fdelity prototypes, such as 3D scale models. While previous work has focused on capturing the design rationale behind the decisions that happen during such a design process, this information typically remains secluded and is not easily accessible for the stakeholders. In this paper, we explore how to augment both physical and digital designs with their associated design rationale and decisions. Our exploratory inquiry with three experts in architecture provides qualitative feedback on our augmented reality tool and concepts. We expect that these preliminary results are valuable for future traceabil-ity tools for physical and digital designs, even beyond the domain of architecture.
