“…A robust virtual tool can reduce the need for expensive physical prototypes (Hanson et al, 2006;Jayaram et al, 2001). Furthermore, with virtual prototyping more design iterations are possible within a shorter time (Wang, 2002).…”

AbstractEase of entry and exit is important for creating a positive first impression of a car and to increase customer satisfaction. Several methods are used within vehicle development to optimise ease of entry and exit, including CAD reviews, benchmarking and buck trials.However, there is an industry trend towards digital methods to reduce the costs and time associated with developing physical prototypes. This paper reports on a study of entry strategy in three properties (buck, car, CAVE) in which inconsistencies were demonstrated by people entering a vehicle representation in the CAVE. In a second study industry practitioners rated the CAVE as worse than physical methods for identifying entry and exit issues, and having lower perceived validity and reliability. However, the resource issues associated with building bucks were recognised. Recommendations are made for developing the CAVE and for combinations of methods for use at different stages of a vehicle's development. Keywords: entry exit, automotive Highlights: Inconsistent entry strategies were observed in a CAVE virtual environment  The CAVE needs development to support design for ease of entry and exit  Representation of vehicular hard points is necessary for optimising entry and exit  Various combinations of methods are required at different stages of vehicle development 2

Abstract-As one solution to complex product design, the integrated design environment has experienced several decades of development with great changes. This paper reviews the emergence, development history and future trend of integrated design environment. Firstly, the concept and connotation of design are analyzed, and then from the development of design behavior and the development of computer aided design, the inevitability and development history of integrated design environment are elaborated. Secondly, the background and characteristic of different kinds of integrated design environment were analyzed and elaborated. Finally, based on the trend analysis of the integrated design environment, future research direction and goals are proposed. Through this review, basic materials and direction for the related academic research can be provided.

“…By using this practice for product evaluation, it is possible to reduce the need to develop physical prototypes. Several studies reported in literature have demonstrated the effectiveness and benefits of using VP for the evaluation of the new design solutions [11,12]. Studies also show that the evaluation of interactive products requires VPs integrating multisensory interaction, where users can experience the various features of a product, typically including its appearance, the sound emitted, and its tactile properties [13].…”

The sense of smell has a great importance in our daily life. Recently, smells have been used for marketing purposes for improving the people's mood and for communicating information about products as household cleaners and food. However, the scent design discipline can be used for creating a "scent identity" of these products not traditionally associated to a specific smell, in order to communicate their features to customers. In the area of virtual reality (VR), several researches concerned the integration of smells in virtual environments. The research questions addressed in this paper concern if virtual prototypes (VP), including smell simulation, can be used for evaluating products as effectively as studies performed in real environments, and also if smells can enhance the users' sense of presence in virtual environments. For this purpose, a VR experimental framework including a prototype of a wearable olfactory display (wOD) has been set up, and experimental tests have been carried out.
