“…With regard to AR/VR oriented to engineering and industrial design, several works can be found (Impelluso and Metoye, 2000, M. Nomura, Y. Sawada, 2001, Stone, 2001, Ong and Mannan, 2003, Zwolinski et al, 2007, Shen et al, 2009, Bruno and Muzzupappa, 2010, Hashemipour et al, 2011, Jimeno-Morenilla et al 2013). The purpose of these studies is to promote the use of virtual reality tools and to help understand complex concepts through interdisciplinary, collaborative work environments and conditions that, for various reasons, are not easy to recreate in a nonvirtual world.…”

Abstract. Nowadays, the different computer tools available enable designers to create complex industrial prototypes. The use of these tools is constrained by the limitations imposed by common devices, like screens and displays. Recently emerged Virtual and Augmented Reality techniques have started being used as supports in many learning and industrial environments. Beyond the new possibilities that these tools offer for designing industrial objects, the underlying question is whether these new technologies could improve the creativity of designers to enable them to get a better understanding of the designing process itself. This paper presents a methodological proposal for the deployment of an industrial design engineering course aimed not only at learning different design techniques, but also at assessing the creativity skills of students. The practical contents include the use of VR devices, to help the designer overcome the limitations of prototype visualization and make better designing decisions. Moreover, a creativity test will be performed at the beginning and at the end of the course to assess the changes in creativity skills, taking place within the experiment group versus the changes in a traditional learning (control) group.

“…Moreover, the usability [19] of the user interface is a key aspect for the success of industrial products. This assumption has led to the introduction of numerous design methodologies addressed to evaluate the user-friendliness of industrial products [7]. In the early stages of design, various experts from different fields are working together in order to provide a solution.…”

is an open access repository that collects the work of Arts et Métiers ParisTech researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. Abstract Product design activity is traditionally presented as a succession of four to six stages. In the early stages of design, during the search for concepts, multi-disciplinary teams are working together, sometimes on the fringe of the digital design chain. But it is during these stages, that most of the product development cost is committed. Therefore, collaboration should be emphasized, and PLM software should contribute to it strongly. This paper first defines the boundaries of the early stages of design. Then, we analyze designer collaboration in this stage and describe the knowledge necessary for efficient collaboration. Finally, we propose and test a concept for a tool to assist the early stages of design, to be integrated in a continuum with other existing digital design tools. A case study is presented in Verallia, specialized in the design and manufacturing of glassware. Keywords

“…The instrument chosen was the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) (Saaty, 1990). Participative design is important to improve quality not only in applications with industrial backgrounds, but also for nonindustrial ones (Bruno and Muzzupappa, 2010;Yusuf et al, 2011;Di Gironimo et al, 2012c). The purpose of the participative approach is to involve a group of experts to compare several alternative design solutions in order to find an optimal one with the help of an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment .…”
