The paper describes the development and the use of an application of virtual prototyping that enables industrial designers to create a multisensory experience involving the sense of touch when interacting with industrial products. The application is based on visual and haptic technologies. It has been tested on a case study provided by a design company interested in designing tactile tiles. This approach is proposed as an alternative to physical and rapid prototyping, because of the minor cost and major flexibility of virtual prototypes. The development and testing of the application are described and discussed in the paper.

Abstract
The paper describes the development and the use of an application of virtual prototyping that enables industrial designers to create a multisensory experience involving the sense of touch when interacting with industrial products. The application is based on visual and haptic technologies. It has been tested on a case study provided by a design company interested in designing tactile tiles. This approach is proposed as an alternative to physical and rapid prototyping, because of the minor cost and major flexibility of virtual prototypes. The development and testing of the application are described and discussed in the paper.File in questo prodotto:
