Abstract

Virtual reality offers a bridge between what is physical and what is imagined, which allows opportunities for designers to explore alternatives that would not be feasible in the physical world. This position paper aims to address the issue of whether this manipulation of constraints is likely to be beneficial to their overall creativity, and looks at the effectiveness of popular systems such as Second Life for supporting creative design.
