The VR Factory : discrete event simulation implemented in a virtual environment

摘要: Virtual reality (VR) refers to an immersive, interactive, multi-sensory, viewer-centered, three-dimensional (3D) computer generated environment and the combination of technologies required build such (Cruz-Neira, 1993). Related problems engineering design manufacturing, this new technology offers engineers ability work with models in a three-dimensional, immersive environment. This paper describes virtual application where results discrete event simulation manufacturing cell are integrated model produce The program described paper, VR Factory, allows user investigate how various changes affect part production. investigation is performed while immersed representation cell. creation cell, animation implementation simulation.
