During the redesign of the interior of the Flying-V, especially the Chaise Longue, it is investigated how Virtual Reality (VR) can be used within the design process as an evaluation tool. Can test subjects use VR to provide feedback on conceptual designs? And what are the pros and cons? While these questions are being explored, the results of the testing in VR will be used to redesign the Chaise Longue and combine it with results from other graduate students to create a total configuration of the Flying-V.

During the project, two tests have been done. The first test was to explore VR, and to learn about how to create a proper test for product evaluation in VR. This test has been done partly in Ras al-Khaimah (UAE) and in Delft (NL) with employees from KLM. The second test was to test a preliminary redesign of the Chaise Longue. The results of this test were used to create the redesign of the Chaise Longue.
