Abstract

This paper studies the applicability of Synthetic Environments (SE) for dynamic prototyping in the early phase of product design. For this purpose, a simple SE, built with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology, was employed to support the design of the lid of an X-Ray machine. Psychological experiments, statistical analysis of questionnaires, and user interviews indicated that for the design problem concerned, the SE was a proper substitution of the physical prototype, although the participants experienced difference in sense of presence. To further improve the applicability of SE, a design strategy of intuitive user interface is proposed for dynamic prototyping in SE to facilitate the communication among stakeholders with various knowledge backgrounds.
