Software systems have grown so complex and their design is so intricate that no individual can grasp the whole picture. Touch screen technology combined with 3D software visualization offers a promising way for the software engineers involved in a project to share knowledge about a software system in an intuitive way. In this paper we present first results on how such emerging technologies can be combined to support software exploration tasks, such as identifying high-impact changes or revealing problematic parts of the design. As demonstrated with a scenario, this turns the collaborative environment into a vehicle usable during software reviews.
