In this paper, we present a design evaluation system with visualization and interaction of mobile devices using virtual‐reality‐based prototypes which can be used to easily change design parameters and simulate embedded software. To evaluate and predict affective‐engineering‐based design preferences for mobile devices under a virtual environment, we have developed a high quality visualization platform which creates images that look similar to real mobile devices in addition to real‐time simulation of realistic motions and functions of mobile devices. To support a quantitative usability test scenario for external design shape, we also have built a system which consists of a mixed‐reality‐based testing platform for measuring hand load.
