Digital sketching is now a common practice to generate and communicate ideas during the ideation process. Devices on computers or smartphones create these types of sketches.

Users can draw naturally as if they were using paper and pencil, reducing the time to create the sketch. The collaborative aspect is possible on touchscreen tablets where the screen is shared across multiple tablets (Pelland et al. 2019). Touchscreen tablets also allow for multi-user operation simultaneously, but directly on the same hardware. This opens up opportunities for users to replace the features of their pen with those of another medium, such as a paintbrush.

Augmented reality on smartphones and tablets is classically used to visualize an object in its future real environment, or to visualize transformations or information embedded on a real object.

There are also apps available to create 3D sketches directly on tablets and smartphones. Combining 3D sketches with augmented reality can be a simple, inexpensive and effective solution for ideation (Pelland et al. 2019).
