Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interconnection between product design and user satisfaction has become an emerging topic for researchers working in the field of product lifecycle management (PLM) in the last decade. The involvement of the potential customer in an early phase of the product design allows gaining a user’s feedback in advance. Thus, user-centered design methods have been recently adopted together with interaction design techniques thanks to the adoption of virtual reality (virtual prototype). The interaction between the user and a virtual product during the design phase is a key factor to gain a final product which responds to the inner needs of the clientele; emotional design is indeed the tail end of the topic.
This Special Issue is aimed at contributions in virtual reality and 3D environments/solutions for PLM, and specifically product design. Works on innovative systems for involving the user in the product design will be welcome, together with contributions about user interface satisfaction and system usability. Studies on user-centered and emotional design related to the field will also be acknowledged.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- New findings in system usabiliy metrics;
- Emotionally intelligent product design;
- Innovative involvement of virtual reality in PLM;
- 3D environments for interaction design;
- Multi-sensory experience via virtual reality;
- Techniques to detect user’s inner needs;
- Virtual reality in customer’s engagement.
