Abstract
A navel virtual tele-immersive product evaluation environment is conceived. The components for the tele-immersive virtual environment for product eval uation include a robust virtual reality (VR) hardware system, associated VR driving software, development tool for the tele-immersive virtual environm ent, networking software, user representation scheme and tools for developi ng 3D models and incorporating dynamic properties into the models. We have developed a model to allow users to collaboratively evaluate products using the CAVE(TM), Performer. CAVERN, CAVEActors, Pro/ENGINEER, and ADAMS. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
