“…Virtual reality (VR) -defined as "a computer-generated digital environment that can be experienced and interacted with as if it were real" -was invented in the last century, with Sutherland's headmounted three-dimensional display (Jerald, 2016;Sutherland, 1968), and evolved with the advancements in computing technology and 3D software in the 1990s, providing a more interactive and immersive visualization of the simple Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models (Berta, 1999). After 2010, with the full maturity of VR technology due to the reduced cost and improved hardware usability, VR is not only used in the most predictable areas, such as gaming, but it also extensively spread to the medical, military (Liu et al, 2018), sport (Han et al, 2019), educational (Lau and Lee, 2015), and astronomical (West et al, 2018) fields, among others. VR systems utilize devices that enable immersion to different degrees.…”

Virtual reality (VR) has been widely used in engineering design in different ways. It has the potential to enhance some design aspects, such as visualization and interaction, but might be incapable of solving the others. There are no consensus or general guidelines on how VR can facilitate design processes. This paper aims to understand how VR is currently used in engineering design at an early stage, so that researchers and practitioners can better know when and how to use VR for efficient design activities. Specifically, this paper reviews the research questions and applications addressed by using VR technology. The study helps identify the design questions currently studied, and gaps to be filled in order to use VR effectively for optimal design outcomes. This review also provides guidelines about when and how to use VR in design research and practices.

The research on the use of virtual reality (VR) in the design domain has been conducted in a fragmentary way so far, and some misalignments have emerged among scholars. In particular, the actual support of VR in early design phases and the diffusion of practices involving VR in creative design stages are argued. In the present paper, we reviewed VR applications in design and categorized each of the collected 86 sources into multiple classes. These range from supported design functions to employed VR technologies and the use of systems complementing VR. The identified design functions include not only design activities traditionally supported by VR, such as 3D modelling, virtual prototyping, and product evaluation, but also co-design and design education beyond the early design phases. The possibility to support early design phases by means of VR is mirrored by the attention on products that involve an emotional dimension beyond functional aspects, which are particularly focused on in virtual assemblies and prototypes. Relevant matches between VR technologies and specific design functions have been individuated, although a clear separation between VR devices and supported design tasks cannot be claimed.
