Mixed Reality Empowerment: Innovative Applications in the Field of Industrial Design Education

As an emerging force born in the 19th century, industrial design has continuously embraced and integrated cross-field elements, gradually evolving into a complete system. With the advent of the new era of Industry 4.0, emerging technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and interactive technologies have been booming. The integration of intelligent technologies into industrial design has emerged as a significant contemporary issue. With the expansion of the industrial designer team, the defects in the field of industrial design education have become increasingly exposed. This paper focuses on the deficiencies in the field of industrial design education. Firstly, it explores the connotations and current situations of industrial design and mixed reality disciplines. Furthermore, it proposes three educational means of integrating mixed reality technology: building an interactive design platform, developing a new AR - CMF real - time projection software, and constructing a DIY experience platform for product innovation design. These means aim to enhance the interactivity, convenience, and efficiency of education, and at the same time promote collaboration and learning between teachers and students.
