Description eXtended Reality (XR) technologies, including Virtual reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), offer new opportunities for collaboration and communication among users in virtual and hybrid contexts. Specifically, the use of XR in co-located design tasks, where multiple users need to collaborate in real-time and share ideas, opens new horizons for improving the efficiency and creativity of group work. This thesis aims, on the one hand, to compare and evaluate different types of XR technologies (VR, AR, MR) in the context of co-located design tasks, where users need to communicate and show their ideas to each other and, on the other hand, to identify and develop techniques, metaphors, and gamification elements that optimize the use of XR in these contexts, providing cues, information, actions, and mechanics that would not be possible without the use of XR. The thesis aims to offer an in-depth understanding of how XR technologies can be optimally used to facilitate collaborative design tasks, improving the quality of group work and communication among participants. The results will contribute to outlining future applications and developments of XR technologies in collaborative contexts.
