Through this research, we review a two-year pedagogical experiment to highlight the necessary specifications and to continue to progress towards a proposition of a new collaboration and decision-making support, well adapted to the needs of Architecture Engineering Construction. This paper presents observations from a pedagogical experiment on synchronous collective decision-making by users via digital project documents on a touch table. The experiment offers a unique context for our research on multidisciplinary collaboration observations and for 3D or 4D model use studies. Our experiment aims, first, to survey the user-perceived utility of such digital support with natural user interactions and collate suggestions for improvements to the support. For the research, both individual and group perceptions are important. Second, we describe a decision-making session actors' activity and interactions. The results will contribute to the design a collaborative decision-making support.
