Abstract
Different levels of creativity are required during the design process. Since most creativity techniques rely on the interaction of several people, the aim of the project described in this paper was to introduce creativity tools into a design system for distributed designers working together on one task using a common, new type of design system. The different tools and their adaptation for designers in different location is described and the experiences with these sessions are discussed. It has been shown that creativity tools can be used for distributed designers with some limitations depending on the available means of communication but overall good results.
