Applying Virtual Environments to Manufacturing
نویسنده
چکیده
When we first announced this hearing the Commerce Committee office got dozens of telephone calls from people asking what is “virtual reality” and why are you holding a hearing on it? Well, the answer is fairly simple. Virtual reality promises to revolutionize the way we use computers. At least that’s my opinion. It could improve the way we design new products, how we teach our children, and how we spend our free time. It has the potential to change our lives in dozens of ways.

متن کاملDevelopment of virtual environments for Mechanical Engineering
We outline a procedure for implementing a virtual CNC lathe prototype using software for creating virtual environments. The prototype constructed focus on the lathe’s interlocking system (its functionality) and on its geometric model (its physical design). This project allowed us to identify the possibilities and limitations of applying current Virtual Reality technology for virtual prototyping...

متن کاملPredicting Product Aesthetic Quality Using Virtual Environments
This paper describes a previously unreported application of virtual environments – the prediction of product aesthetic quality. Successful prediction of aesthetic quality without the production of a physical prototype requires the integration of a number of ‘software’ models: an assembly model representing the manner in which the product is put together; an environment model providing a real wo...
