Spacedesign: A Mixed Reality Workspace for Aesthetic Industrial Design

Spacedesign is an innovative Mixed Reality (MR) application addressed to aesthetic design of free form curves and surfaces. It is a unique and comprehensive approach which uses task-specific configurations to support the design workflow from concept to mock-up evaluation and review. The first-phase conceptual design benefits from a workbench-like 3-D display for free hand sketching, surfacing a...

Applications for Mixed Reality

Mixed or Augmented Reality (AR) systems align computer generated virtual objects and real world objects with each other to enhance the vision of the physical reality with the virtual objects in a manner, that will allow a user to interact with spatial data in his natural environment and scale (1:1). Especially when dealing with natural disasters the advantage of a user’s view augmented with add...

Industrial Use of Mixed Reality in VRVis Projects

Industrial facilities are becoming increasingly complex, which profoundly affects their planning and operation. Architectural structures, infrastructure and machines are planned using CAD software, but, typically, many alterations are made during actual construction and installation. These alterations usually do not find their way back into the CAD models. In addition, there may be a large body...

Mood Boards: Industrial Designers’ Perception of Using Mixed Reality

Developments in mixed reality systems in the last decade have provided proof-of-concepts by means of technologytailored usage scenarios. Instead of focusing on the technology required for implementation, we have shifted our focus towards users, investigating the potential impact of such techniques on the actual work practice of industrial designers. Specific activities have been identified duri...
