Reach - A stage for physical collaboration

Reach is a vision for a connected workplace - an augmented desk extension that builds a bridge across work environments. It acts as interface between two workplaces and suggests a novel method for physical collaboration over distance through a cloud plat- form. Reach enables a physical dialogue by allowing to comment, annotate and pre- view materialities on remote prototypes. Reach creates a real time work ow, tailored to physical activities in professions such as Design, Architecture and Manufacturing.
