Simulators have been used for a long time in industry, but their use is expanding due to technological improvements. In this paper we have identified three categories of use: training, design and testing. For each of these uses, we provide examples of projects conducted and indications of relevant use cases. We also underline that for these three c...

The emergence and the development of digital technologies (social media, 3D scanners, virtual reality) offer new opportunities to develop more participative design approaches. The present study experiments with non-designer participants a co-creation and co-design process of furniture based on 3D scan, virtual reality sketching, and modeling tools....

Numerous studies have shown a beneficial effect of exposing people to natural landscapes and plants on their well-being and attentional functioning. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a natural virtual environment on creativity in a task consisting of sketching ideas of creative solutions to a problem. The participants in t...

The purpose of this study was to model an enhanced design methodology applied to the conception of an innovative product in a SME environment. This approach includes C-K theory in a context of disruptive innovation. In general, the industrial design process consists of four major steps: the ego-design phase where the designer conceptualizes a user...

The purpose of this study is to build an enhanced design model applied to the conception of an innovative product in an SME environment. This approach includes C-K theory in the context of innovation.

The purpose of this study is to model an ‘enhanced design' methodology applied to the conception of an innovative product in a SME environment. This approach includes C-K theory in a context of disruptive innovation.In general, the industrial design process consists of four major steps:1/ the ego-design phase, where the designer conceptualizes a us...

This paper experiments a transdisciplinary design innovation way in educational contexts through workshops implementing a C-K Theory-based co-evolution between Concepts and Knowledge spaces. At l'école de design Nantes Atlantique EDNA, a 'posture for humans' concept subject was prescribed to students working half time in industry as a preparatory p...
