Evaluating System Sufficiency in a Multimodal, Multiuser Sensemaking Environment Designed for Intelligence Analysis

This paper discusses a prototype brainstorming tool designed for sensemaking in intelligence analysis and integrates multimodal input in an immersive environment that supports multiple users. This digital tool has been designed using structured analytic techniques already in use through analog methods in the intelligence analysis domain. We discuss an ongoing user study that presents preliminary findings for tool, and suggestions for future development.
