在工业产品开发领域，产品传统上通过技术图纸，草图和物理原型传达给最终用户。最近，公司倾向于开发产品的数字版本，其可以用于向用户传达新产品的目的，并且还可以用于允许用户在其物理构造之前评估产品及其变体的目的。虚拟样机是一种在各个工业领域中使用的相对较新的实践，其目的是预测现实中还不存在的产品。这种做法可用于评估产品的美学质量，其功能特性以及其人体工程学和可用性方面。当前的虚拟现实技术很好地支持了有效的虚拟原型的实现。事实上，人们可以触摸、移动、操纵和操作产品的虚拟原型，如家用电器、电子设备等，有很好的现实主义。为了做到这一点，与虚拟原型的交互是多模态和多感官的，并且通常基于视觉、触觉和听觉模态的组合。本文介绍了如何使用虚拟原型，而不是物理文物或实物模型的通信的一个新产品或现有产品的变体，并对其使用的初步评估。用户的测试证明了这种做法的有效性。
In the domain of industrial product development, products have been traditionally communicated to final users by means of technical drawings, sketches and physical prototypes. Recently, companies have tended to develop digital versions of products, which can be used with the purpose of communicating a new product to users, and also with the aim of allowing users to evaluate the product and its variants before its physical construction. Virtual prototyping is a relatively recent practice used in various industrial domains, which aims at anticipating a product that does not exist in reality yet. This practice can be used for evaluating the aesthetic quality of a product, its functional features and also its ergonomic and usability aspects. Current virtual reality technology well supports the implementation of effective virtual prototypes. In fact, one can touch, move, manipulate, and operate the virtual prototypes of products, such as household appliances, electronic devices, etc., with a good degree of realism. In order to do this, the interaction with virtual prototypes is multimodal and multisensory, and is often based on the combination of visual, haptic and auditory modalities. This paper shows how virtual prototypes can be used instead of physical artefacts or mock-ups for the communication of a new product or of variants of an existing product, and for the preliminary evaluation of its usage. The effectiveness of this practice is proved by tests performed by users.
