Highlights

• Unique approach to formalize the impact of immersive tools on the intrinsic activity of design.
• •
  Delivery of original experience measurement method of immersive design (physiologic, cognitive, behavioral).
• •
  Definition of a model comparing the traditional design process to the immersive process.

In between industrial design, virtual reality and experience psychology we aim to offer engaging and efficient immersive tools to augment the design workflow. To evaluate the efficiency of our innovative design tools and their impact on the traditional industrial design process, we use experimental protocols inspired from design science, user experience evaluation and psycho-physiology. This research framework gives access to complex micro processes appearing between the designer and his tools, regarding the emotional engagement of a designer in his activity. The goal of this paper is to present how specific early design needs can be fulfilled by immersive technologies. The presented findings show the level to which an immersive experience is valid for early design tasks.
