Abstract
The use of multi-touch interfaces for collaborative software design has received significant attention. Multi-touch surfaces can accommodate more than one user synchronously which is particularly useful for collaborative design tasks with open-ended nature. In this paper, we explore the potential of using multi-touch technology for Unified Modeling Language (UML) software design by comparing it with PC-based collaborative software design. Results show that the use of multi-touch table enhanced collaboration amongst the team members and increased shared contribution.
