The advancement of technology has led to the migration of traditional activities to online. In the field of design, digital online collaboration provided the potential for enhanced communication and efficiency among team members. However, challenges emerged in online design collaboration due to the separation between humans and machines. This research invited experienced designers to gather their insights and expectations regarding online design collaboration from a qualitative perspective. The prevailing challenges were manifested from three key aspects: reduced authenticity, increased uncertainty in design solutions, and diminished designers' level of engagement. To solve the problem, embodied cognition perspective was adopted to explore the interplay of embodied cognition and human-machine interaction. It proposed a framework for enhancing digital collaboration and optimized a platform for automotive design to enrich designers' physical, perceptual, and interactive presence, thus elevated their collaborative experience. The evaluation results show that this research fosters productive ideation, thus stimulating creative potential.
