The Prototyper is an integrating part of the PERCEIVE CoDesign Toolbox. It consists of a platform to create first rendering of exhibitions projects. It is based on the web-3D framework ATON, enabling the creation, manipulation and annotation of tridimensional objects and scene online and across multiple devices.

Users can import 3D models of their collections, set-up or installation and place them in digital replica of the exhibition space. An intuitive interface supports also those with little or no expertise in graphics to arrange and customise their simulation from any device.
