Abstract:Research showed that immersive technologies can significantly improve the design process. However, it is important to consider the ease of implementation of solutions (e.g. price, simplicity). Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the uses of two types of virtual environments that are relatively simple to implement: a basic model of a room and its 3D scan. Participants made sketches using a virtual reality application, provided by the instructors, in each of the two different VR environments. T… Show more

“…Some studies have already highlighted collaborative case studies (e.g., de Klerk et al 2019; Safin 2020; Fleury et al 2022) involving lay people in a design process via a VR sketching tool. However, to our knowledge, few studies seem to have focused on the skills needed to use VR sketching compared to traditional sketching, especially with non-designers.…”

“…One might therefore think that the use of a 3D medium (such as virtual reality (VR)) would be beneficial compared to the use of a 2D medium (such as paper/pencil). However, in the study of Fleury et al (2022), the authors show that users will systematically use paper/pencil sketching before making their VR sketches. Participants had the option of skipping this step of paper/pencil sketching.…”
Virtual reality (VR) sketching has many advantages for product design and tends to be more and more used among designers and non-designers (end-users). Nevertheless, few studies have focused on the skills needed to use VR sketching for non-designers especially VR novices in VR software. This study focuses on identifying the cognitive impact of VR sketching compared to traditional sketching on VR expert and VR novice in an experimental setting. Thirty-one participants composed of VR experts (N = 15) and VR novices (N = 16) completed a mental rotation test and then performed one traditional paper and pencil sketching task and two VR sketching tasks. We also measured the participants’ movements when using the VR sketching. Results show that VR experts perform better than VR novices in VR sketching because training is an essential element for the quality of traditional and VR sketching. Nevertheless, VR novices with previous training in traditional drawing and/or high mental rotation skills will be able to produce good-quality sketches. In addition, the results show that users moving more in the immersive environment performed better quality sketches if the drawing requires more complex shapes. Our results suggest that VR sketching can be complex to use for a part of the population that may be end-users, especially for those with little experience in traditional and VR sketching and with poor visuospatial abilities. We, therefore, advise to check the non-designers’ prior skills, otherwise, it will be necessary to train these users in VR sketching.

“…In the continuity of these first works, the research team explored the potential of virtual reality, on the same buildings in renovation. Thus, [10] explore the potential contribution of VR immersion in a 3D scan of a room to imagine and sketch in 3D ideas for layouts. During this research, the authors identified the importance of training participants to be comfortable using the tool.…”

“…Within the framework of the EU project, six members of the consortium (two SMEs, one large company, three universities) are developing as a "multi-sided" platform [8], for creativity and customization of furniture or room layouts by integrating Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) into the co-design process (Fig. 1, a) and a priori facilitating the involvement of users in creating their own product, working with designers and / or manufacturers [9,10].…”
Industry 4.0 seeks both to digitalize SMEs and to bring companies closer to their market. One of the responses is the Do-it-together (DIT) concept, which combines co-creation, and open-manufacturing. This concept is transposed in the form of a physical and digital INEDIT demonstrator (EU project). This study analyses the design modalities of multimodal interfaces and multi-platform (web app, AR mobile app, VR app) supporting the DIT process. The study focuses on the realization of an original UX design protocol allowing to design and evaluate by use this potential "multi-sided" platform. The results allow us to better understand the modalities of implementation of such an approach mixing Action Research and Living Lab for industry. We can appreciate over time the commitment of the stakeholders and their ability to co-create such a platform. This work allows us to draw recommendations for the development of support technologies for socialmanufacturing and provides argument for a Multi-UX scale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
