Abstract:
This paper presents and validates a new methodology for the efficient integration of CAD models in a
physical-based virtual reality simulation. User interacts with virtual mock-up using a string-based haptic interface that may provides haptic sensation to both hands in a large workspace. Visual and tactile displays provide users with sensory feedback and improve both user performance and immersion. Stereoscopic images are displayed on a
2m x 2.5m retro-projected screen and viewed using polarized glasses. The proposed methodology implemented in a low-cost system, has been tested with an automotive application task. However, the presented approach is general enough to be applicable to a large variety of industrial applications.
