Abstract:

In an increasingly competitive world the success is closely linked to a person's ability to innovate.

In this paper, we describe our efforts to create a model for an online virtual environment that can be customized and dynamically adapted to the needs of individuals and specific innovation sessions.

We explane how non-technical users can creatively construct virtual prototypes , from the home, based on by using a programming-by examples approach.

The field of investigation is virtual prototyping. Ths domain offers the analysis of the static and dynamic characteristics of the product ,the reconstruction and improvement of the original design.

The virtual prototyping technique, as a method for collaborative innovation, requires further improvements and also the improvement of users' IT skills.
When using virtual prototypes, the main IT support strategy is based on the development of IT tools adapted to the professional field.

We explore how to organize and conduct an effective brainstorming session to solve complex problems, by analyzing examples of virtual prototypes.
Online collaborative innovation activity involves extracting creative innovation ideas from fictions that are created for entertainment rather than for technology or business innovation.

This virtual environment is based on a core model that consists of a number of innovative features, including a custom generic template-based interface scheme that supports human-machine interactions and support systems to help users during the brainstorming session.

The resulting materials of the online collaborative innovation activity, such as the innovative/original virtual prototypes, were created and tested during the brainstorming session. The innovative ideas were evaluate at the end of the brainstorming session,
