Abstract
Agile processes demand for increasing flexibility in product development and shorter development periods. Especially when it comes to product assessments, products have to run through a complex and often expensive development cycle before first user tests can be conducted. We are developing a method where a tangible XR (EXtended Reality) is used for product assessment in an agile development process with evolving the product from a virtual to a physical state. This approach is illustrated in a prototypical example of the implementation of an automotive interior design of a tangible XR car door opening mechanism.
