What do you know about Immersive Design?

The design and production of bespoke furniture is a constant challenge as consumers demand more and more personalization and are willing to pay less and less. They are also willing to find the right design on the internet, wherever it comes from, as soon as it meets their requirements, but they want it to be manufactured locally. In addition, the rise of open manufacturing facilities in fablabs and shops and the digitalization of design pipelines offer new perspectives and business opportunities for furniture manufacturers and designers.Virtual Reality (VR) has grown strongly with the commercialization of low-cost headsets that enable high-end immersive experiences. VR is used extensively in the design process, most often for design reviews once an initial version of the product has been created.

In order to reduce costs and streamline the digital design process, it is worth asking if we can use VR not only to review designs, but also to create them. In this learning path we will cover the topic of immersive design and guide you to understand and implement Virtual Reality in the furniture design process.
