Abstract
This paper discusses findings in a user study evaluation of a novel digital brainstorming tool situated in a cognitive immersive environment. We compare how the brainstorming tools enable sensemaking by examining thematic units produced by users. The digital tool integrates multimodal inputs that are novel for brainstorming applications, and allows for multiuser collaboration. This user study examines how differences between the analog and digital brainstorming tool formats impacts sensemaking metrics. We find that the digital brainstorming tool allows users to reflect content from a source material more accurately than the analog brainstorming tool. Future work needs to identify the reason for increased idea cohesion within the cognitive immersive room’s digital brainstorming tool.
