An explorative study towards using VR sketching as a tool for ideation and prototyping in product design

The advancements in the field of VR allow designers to use VR as a technology for sketching ideas in a virtual space. In this paper, Gravity Sketch (a VR sketching software) is used as an ideation sketching tool in the process of product styling. The goal of this research is to examine the advantages and points-of-pain when using virtual reality tools in the process of product styling. 29 Master students used the VR sketching tool in their design process and all of them had feedback and insights on the tool.The advancements in the field of VR allow designers to use VR as a technology for sketching ideas in a virtual space.
