ORMEÑO1 1UNIVERSIDAD DEL BÍO-BÍO (CHILE) 2CENTI (PORTUGAL) 3PRODINTEC (SPAIN) ABSTRACT THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTRIBUTIONS CARRIED OUT BY TEAM OF RESEARCHERS AND UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT SMART WINDOWS FOR ZERO CARBON ENERGY BUILDINGS AWARDED WITH NET LAC FUNDS, AND IMPLEMENTED BY CONSORTIUM OF PARTNERS FROM EUROPE AND LAC REGIONS. IT IS FOCUSED ON SMART WINDOW INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING IDEATION PHASE AND USER STUDIES. DISCIPLINES COLLABORATING ARE INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, MULTIMEDIA DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING. THIS PROCESS IS BASED ON THE DESIGN OF A PRODUCT CAPABLE OF HARMONIOUSLY INTEGRATION TO EXISTING BUILDINGS OR NEW ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS. ISSUES OBSERVED HAVE BEEN THE DESIGN OF A WINDOW UNDER MECHANICAL AND USABILITY POINT OF VIEW, INCLUDING STUDIES OF USERS TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND AS A SMART WINDOW, OBSERVING APPEARANCE AND OPERATION ACCORDING TO VARIOUS AUTONOMY POSSIBILITIES. ACCORDINGLY, COLLABORATION OF UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS OF INDUSTRIAL AND MULTIMEDIA DESIGN HAS BEEN ESSENTIAL TO DEVELOP VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING, BOTH IN BUILDINGS AND WINDOW PROPOSALS AS RELEVANT PART OF DESIGNED TOOLS FOR INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUP. VIRTUAL REALITY SOFTWARE AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BEEN USED, SUCH AS PRINTING AND 3D SCANNING FOR IDEATION PROCESSES, ALL OPERATED BY STUDENTS SPECIALLY TRAINED FOR THIS EXPERIENCE.
