The life stages to be studied are expanded to include:
The core area of VR users will be expanded from previous studies to include:
- Sales staff
- User- and task-oriented additional information
- Cross-technology operating concept of the VR system (e.g. for CAVE/FASP, Powerwall, HMD, mobile devices)
- Integration of SysML models: external calculations (behavior descriptions), transfer to different VR systems, feedback and processing of information from the VR system
- Investigation of the connection of acoustic information to SysML descriptions.
The special feature of this project is the construction of VR models that separate between product, actor and environment and are based on SysML descriptions. This will be investigated in terms of feasibility and efficiency. The final step will be a correspondingly extended guideline and its initial evaluation in different industries. Finally, a set of tools for determining the requirements of virtual reality applications for virtual product development shall be developed.
The core area Actor (digital human models observed by the VR user, simulating real users) will be extended by:
- Actor Sales Manager
- Demonstrator/Utilizer
- Digital human models to represent and analyze the behavior of actors from all considered life phases
- Interaction patterns of the VR user to control the digital human models
The core area of SysML will be extended to include:
- Evaluation of the technology independence and performance of SysML for the description of complex VR models.
- Definition of generic interfaces between the submodels product, actor, environment with digital human models as actors
- Integration of SysML models: external computations (behavior descriptions), transfer to different VR systems, feedback and processing of information from the VR system
- Investigation of the connection of acoustic information to SysML descriptions
