Presents a study of product design methods. This book provides an overview of the research or industrial application in interactive design. It discusses: modelling techniques; design solution space exploration; and interactive process organization, and is useful for researchers or industrialists.

Research in Interactive Design Vol. 2 provides an overview of a wide range of original research and engineering activities related to high-realistic multi-sensorial virtual prototyping dedicated to the improvement of industrial innovation. It is time for usual design and manufacturing support systems to change. Innovation requires industry to have new techniques that enable the rapid emergence of creative ideas, the development of low cost solutions, and the creation of technical consensus immediately to market and economic requirements. Virtuality should be used as early as possible in the industrial process permitting experts to rapidly explore solution spaces,to accurately study draft solutions in their future environment in a high-realistic way and to assess sketch product efficiency with futur product end-users. Interactive methods, tools and processes respond to these expectations. Interactive design and manufacturing covers a wide spectrum of multidisciplinary research largely represented in this book where you will find in-depth details related to: reduced modelling techniques: a new approach to extended and adaptive behavioural simulation development, embedded mechatronic instruments: a new approach multi-sensorial simulation implementation, interactive decision making in innovation: a new socio-technical analysis and process. In this book,both researchers and industrialists will discover the most recent interactive design techniques, and are certain to walk away with new understanding of important concepts.

This book provides an accurate overview of the recent research or industrial application in interactive design. The different arguments, taken from the international conference Virtual Concept 2005, will provide the reader with some advanced solutions concerning new methods and tools by discussing modelling techniques, design solution space exploration and interactive process organization.

Covering key topics in the fieldsuch as technological innovation, human-centered sustainable engineering andmanufacturing, and manufacture at a global scale in a virtual world, this bookaddresses both advanced techniques and industrial applications of key researchin interactive design and manufacturing. Featuring the full papers presented atthe 2014 Joint Conference on Mechanical Design Engineering and AdvancedManufacturing, which took place in June 2014 in Toulouse, France, it presentsrecent research and industrial success stories related to implementinginteractive design and manufacturing solutions.
