Research in interactive design : proceedings of Virtual Concept 2005

Ce que dit l'éditeur

Research in Interactive Design presents an in-depth study of new product design and manufacturing methods which aim is to support decision-making during design process. They have recently emerged from transversal researches providing advanced simulation techniques to allow human to feel, to interact and to act on virtual high-realistic environments for improving engineering. Interactive design instruments are seen as the extension of traditional CAD tools.

This book provides an accurate overview of the recent research or industrial application about interactive design and manufacturing methods. The different arguments are taken from the international conference Virtual Concept 2005. The reader will find some advanced solutions concerning :

• modelling techniques,
• design solution space exploration,
• virtual environments and prototypes implementation and use,
• interactive process organization.

The solutions presented are enhanced by demonstrations of real industrial problem-solving. The different chapters strongly highlight novel solutions for supporting decision-making in a huge field of engineering: product design, manufacturing and assembly, training and risk prevention, Robotics, design for customers, mechanical engineering, etc.

The book includes a CD-ROM providing full texts. In this book, whether a researcher or an industrialist will discover the most recent interactive design techniques and is sure to extract some significant concepts.
