Project Details
- A two-participant, collaborative engineering scenario that simulates an immersive design and assembly plant with constraint-based systems, physical dynamics, and remote auditory feedback.
- Using sight, sound, and touch immersion, collaborators manipulate virtual prototypes in a stereo-3D workspace.
- These scenarios address the needs of remote, collaborating organizations to improve system integration of unique designs and reduce conventional overhead costs.
