3. A design process supported by virtual technologies

As we have just seen, technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality can support the design process, providing solutions tailored to both the users involved and the phases of the process.

A wide range of visualization and interaction tools are available to meet every need, every use and every usage scenario: number of people involved, remote or remote collaboration, etc.

Similarly, when it's necessary to visualize a product in its projected environment of use, or to determine its integration into a complex whole, today's technologies can provide several answers to the need for virtual objects or environments. These are just some of the tools available to the design team, to encourage and accelerate the development of new products.

In this section, we present the hardware and software elements that are...
