Virtual Reality Interfaces for Product Design
Finding UI solutions for design creation within Virtual Reality
The project
The focus of Virtual Reality has gone from research to widespread adoption in entertainment and practical directions, like the automotive design and architectural visualization. With that, we have to take into consideration the best way to give in-experience control to the user and the interaction within the interface in this medium.
Reimagining interactions for Virtual Reality
How to translate the interactions for content creation that happen in computer and mobile to virtual reality, and help the user explore shape and communicate design intent.
<How to translate the interactions that the user does in the computer (click) and the mobile device (gestures) to the virtual reality world.
How to help the user explore shape within Virtual Reality, Be more empathetic with their design and communicate their design intent.>

The Goal: Explore the best ways to give in-experience control to the user in the VR world and create a user interface for content creation that speaks to the capabilities of natural human behavior.
The approach
A gestures based idiomatic interface
Gesture-based tools
Contextual tools
Quick tools
