This study investigates the potential of serious games (SG) to enhance creativity in additive manufacturing (AM). While AM offers unique opportunities to explore complex designs, traditional manufacturing methods often limit designers’ creativity due to cognitive biases formed by years of using conventional processes. This research aims to introduc...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has known a substantial growth in recent years. More and more designers are interested in using AM during the early design stages, and are not familiar with the opportunities provided by AM. Augmented Design with AM Methodology (ADAM²) is a methodology which can help the designer to understand and exploit the potential o...

Simulation is used to assess safety provided by autonomous vehicle algorithms. However, safety derived by computation systems can have significant gaps with driver’s feeling of safety. Thus, to improve validation by simulation tools, autonomous vehicle designers need to implement criteria for risk perception assessment. We demonstrate, in this stud...

Afin de terminer son lancement sur le marché automobile, le véhicule autonome doit réussir plusieurs tests de sécurité, mais doit principalement gagner la confiance du consommateur. Le véhicule autonome a pour conséquence de nouvelles formes d'engagements cognitifs et émotionnels du conducteur vis-à-vis de la conduite et des autres conducteurs. Son...

Today, lots of companies work on the quality and the image of the workspace b as that has a real impact on the quality of their productions. Generally, this consideration involves the redevelopment of a space favourable for the well-being and the communication between users. However, this work on space is still too often treated as a fad and thus s...

Technical, functional, ergonomic and aesthetic perfection: luxury is in a perpetual pursuit of excellence. To achieve this goal, a product must satisfy not only objective defined requirements but also subjective consumer needs. It is called perceived quality. To master this subjectivity, we have put in place a process of objectification based on a...

The purpose of this paper is to study the possibility of creating a synergy between e-commerce solutions and brick-and-mortar retail shops. It was identified that e-commerce solutions are effectively optimising convenience to promote purchasing, but the web-technology constraints inhibit the re-experience of the in-store consumer experience. We inv...

The aim of this paper is to propose a knowledge management syst em (KMS) design methodology for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that address the problems e ncountered on the existing ones, such as the high amount of resources or the KMS sustainability. To s olve these problems, we created a KMS design methodology that uses the SMEs character...

The present paper considers two pedagogical approaches that are mixing creativity tools and Additive Manufacturing (AM) knowledge and evaluates them through the originality and feasibility of the ideas generated as well as the satisfaction of the students. This experimentation was conducted in an engineering school with two groups of postgraduate s...

This research draws on the social identity approach to investigate group performance in face-to-face and virtual brainstorming settings. In particular, we display Social Identity Cues (SIC) on participants or on avatars to foster group membership. We compare four conditions in a factorial design: Brainstorming in Face-to-face or Virtual setting, Wi...

Knowledge Management (KM) capabilities are critical for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). It allows them to be more competitive, and to leverage one of their key resources: Knowledge. However, the body of knowledge on KM in SMEs is very scarce, and most of the attempts to implement KM in SMEs fail, because of the inadequate models provided. In o...

An important challenge today is to support creativity while enabling geographically distant people to work together. In line with the componential theory of creativity, self-perception theory and recent research on the Proteus Effect, we investigate how avatars, which are virtual representations of the self, may be a medium for stimulating creativi...
