“…The benefits related to the employment of SAR-based tools in design have already been investigated in the literature. These studies have 20 measured: a decrease in the number and duration of the iterations required during development activities (Marner et al, 2011); a better exchange of ideas while testing and/or validating different design solutions (Porter et al, 2010); a reduction in the language barriers between participants from different backgrounds (Verlinden, 2012); a simplification in the procedures for preparing physical mock-ups (Thomas et al, 2011); a larger exploration of the design space and a more efficient design process (Cascini et al, 2020). Never-25 theless, the majority of current SAR applications still limits the use of the technology to the evaluation or presentation of design solutions, including: visualisation of predefined alternatives (Park et al, 2015); quick collection of annotations (Calixte & Leclercq, 2017); collaborative review (Ben Rajeb & Leclercq, 2014); initial exploration of scenarios (Yu Sheng et al, 2011); functional/ergonomic testing (Port et al, 2010).…”
