Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new method of technology enhanced prototyping called Virtual Interactive Prototyping (VIP). Prototype is a model that mimics the static or working behavior of an actual product before manufacturing the product. Prototyping is implemented by displaying the individual components over a physical model constructed using Cardboard or Thermocole in the actual size and shape of the original product. The components of the equipment or product such as screen, buttons etc. are then projected using a projector connected to the computer into the physical model. Users can interact with the prototype like the original working equipment. Computer Vision techniques as well as sound processing techniques are used to detect and recognize the user gestures captured using a web camera and microphone. VIP is a fast, flexible and interactive prototyping method and has many advantages over existing immersive video prototyping methods.
