Today's designers deal with a range of communication modes. These modes vary from hand gestures to sketches, physical models, and computer-generated images. It has been the norm to use these mediums throughout the process to visualize the intended design so that the potential users, designers, team members, and clients can understand the end result. However, each of these mediums has its own affordances. Depending upon the scale of the object, the level of resolution, and many other aesthetic factors, there exist possible visualization opportunities to realistically portray a final result. The field of industrial design is seeing great potential in green-screen compositing and QuickTime VR. Though these computer techniques are somewhat common in the movie and animation profession, in-depth use and application has not yet been fully realized in industrial design. This article discusses the techniques used for specific product and project applications. It also addresses how these methods can be used to enhance and complement traditional design mediums and processes. More importantly, the hope is that others will have more contributions and research in relation to these techniques. Without recognizing new methods for communicating and visualizing--ideas, decisions, products, and the environment can not be improved.
