Abstract
There is occasional discussion and studies done on the nature of design research and the success of its publication formats (1)(2)(3)(4). The topic was pursued by Rust and Robertson (5), who explored the notion of the ‘Research- Exhibition’ as an alternative to the research-paper at the DRS Biennial 2002 Common Ground Conference. This paper builds upon the experience of work on the on-line record of the experimental DRS Common Ground Exhibition 2002 (6), and reminds us of some of the general background issues identified by Rust and Robertson, its co- organisers. It provides further modest pointers as to possible use of some on-line media only for exhibit archives rather than discussing the nature of the research- exhibition itself. The use of some new 3D media software of potential for a permanent record of a Research-Exhibition is outlined resulting from a basic review of some readily available software.

The Research-Exhibition: Some Useful On-Line Media for This Alternative Publication Format of the Design Research Community.
There is occasional discussion and studies done on the nature of design research and the success of its publication formats (1)(2)(3)(4). The topic was pursued by Rust and Robertson (5), who explored the notion of the ‘Research- Exhibition’ as an alternative to the research-paper at the DRS Biennial 2002 Common Ground Conference. This paper builds upon the experience of work on the on-line record of the experimental DRS Common Ground Exhibition 2002 (6), and reminds us of some of the general background issues identified by Rust and Robertson, its co- organisers. It provides further modest pointers as to possible use of some on-line media only for exhibit archives rather than discussing the nature of the research- exhibition itself. The use of some new 3D media software of potential for a permanent record of a Research-Exhibition is outlined resulting from a basic review of some readily available software.
