Design evaluation using virtual reality based prototypes: towards realistic visualization and operations

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we introduce a method for design evaluation of mobile devices using virtual reality based prototypes. For this, we present technologies for a classification of design parameters and for visualizing mobile devices with high quality 3D data. Also, we describe an implementation method for natural simulation and interaction of product functions.
