Abstract :
The efficient development of current products requires the integration of methods for shape and functional design in early stages of the product development process. Due to the increasing complexity of innovative product design, the methods represented in this paper have been accepted as tools for rapid design of product prototypes. In their contribution, the authors expand the current use of virtual reality (VR) technologies to support the embodiment design
