TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Foursa, Maxim A1 - Wesche, Gerold A1 - d’Angelo, David A1 - Bogen, Manfred A1 - Herpers, Rainer T1 - A Two-User Virtual Environment for Rapid Assembly of Product Models Within an Integrated Process Chain T2 - Proceedings of the 10th Symposium of Virtual and Augmented Reality 2008 (SVR 08) N2 - In this paper we present an ongoing research work dedicated to a Virtual-Reality-based product customization application development. The work is addressing the problem of flexible and quick customization of products from a great number of parts. Our application is an effective instrument that can be simultaneously used by two users for rapid assembly tasks, allowing engineers and designers to work collaboratively. Furthermore, it is directly connected to a manufacturing environment, which is able to produce the product right after customization. In the paper we describe the architecture of the application, our interaction and assembly techniques, and explain how the system can be integrated into a manufacturing environment.
