Awareness is of paramount importance to effective collaboration. Groupware systems have traditionally implemented awareness in the form of visual cues. With the advent of alternatives user interface strategies, such as haptic feedback, new ways of implementing awareness are available. The lack of documented experience on the design of effective, haptic awareness mechanisms makes it important to count on flexible prototyping and evaluation tools that can support and shorten an exploratory design process. We argue that design of awareness features should consider modalities from the start. To support the discussion, we present a modeling language and supporting tools to express haptic awareness features, and we show how the language can be used in the context of model driven development of groupware.
