Abstract
The need to translate collaborative activities beyond work and education into online environments has become increasingly urgent following disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study identifies the requirements and explores the challenges associated with designing a multisensory technology that requires real-time audiovisual interaction, using the case of online group singing. Using a design science research methodology, initial requirements were derived from the literature and translated into a technology solution. The solution was demonstrated in online choir rehearsals and evaluated in interviews with choir members. Our findings highlight the need for synchronous audiovisual cues and social connection between the users to achieve an effective collaborative experience. Our work contributes to the information systems discipline by identifying specific requirements for collaborative multisensory online activities and suggesting improvements for digital collaboration tools in general. Furthermore, online collaborative musicmaking solutions can increase cultural participation and inclusion.
