Innovative Process for Furniture Design: Contributions of 3D Scan and Virtual Reality

Technological development offers new opportunities that could change design processes. The present study explores the possibilities of technologies like virtual reality and 3D scan in the furniture design process. For this purpose, a co-creation process with help of new technologies was carried out from initial ideation to 3D modelling. Each tool has been characterized in terms of user experience measured by a questionnaire. This research validates a design process of furniture based on immersive technology and provides some recommendations for the implementation and improvement of this process
