Collaborative Experience Prototyping of Automotive Interior in VR with 3D Sketching and Haptic Helpers

Immersive 3D sketching tools: Implications for visual thinking and communication

“…However, they still strug-2 gled to sketch non-planar curves and surfaces. In other studies, users only needed 10 minutes to produce 21 sketches using 3D sketching tools [32,9,14,9,33,34]. Our…”

“…Solution finding was reported as easier in immersive 3D sketching, as were externalizing, experimenting and commu-58 nicating ideas [1,13,14]. Similarly, users' experiences in VR 59 painting were overwhelmingly positive.…”

“…Some users, especially those who sketched in 3D before sketching in 2D, reported difficulty with thinking in two dimensions [1,13]. During immersive 3D sketching, users were observed moving around their sketches to obtain different perspectives; they also sketched most shapes at sizes proportionate to their bodies [1,13,14,3,15,16]. Users tried to sit on, look below and walk through their sketched 3D…”

"In VR, everything is possible!": Sketching and Simulating Spatially-Aware Interactive Spaces in Virtual Reality

“…Gomes de Sa and Zachmann [28] similarly employ physics simulations during the verification of assembly and maintenance processes in VR. Furthermore, An et al [1] explore collaborative interaction design of a vehicle prototype in VR including haptics. They enable designers to sketch the vehicle's interior and contours of instruments or displays, from within and outside the VE.…”

“…Interactive spaces are ubiquitous computing environments that integrate multiple connected post-WIMP 1 devices in settings such as meeting rooms, visualization labs, control rooms, or design studios [45]. They combine devices such as interactive walls [33], tabletops [89], or mobile devices like tablets and smartphones [34,54,73], which are connected via custombuilt applications that enable data sharing and collaboration.…”
