In this chapter, the authors present the project “WITE 2.0.” This project is at the crossroads of various issues related to mobility (Urry, 2007) and use of Information and Communication Technologies. WITE 2.0 is a part of the designing process of a collaborative communication tool: “a virtualized and unified platform.” The authors define scenarios of teleworking practices, “equipped” by ICTs, and use these scenarios to better specify the platform. The project started at the end of 2010 and continued for a period of 18 months. The analysis is based on several complementary methodologies: a qualitative study (47 semi-structured interviews) and an experimentation of the platform. They present the main results of the interview survey through the following themes: remote management, skills, articulation of private and professional spheres, and the maturity of technologies. The authors also describe how these elements help the understanding of the evolution of workers’ practices.

This article describes the function of lightweight visualization tool--Product View. It introduces the application process of lightweight visualization tool--Product View in aircraft development from lightweight model assembly, lightweight model simulation, visual collaboration, collaboration between R & D, and human factor analysis, etc. Product View is a better collaborative communication tool between process design and design, design and technology in the aircraft development.There are not only high demands on the design and assembly, but also a lot of cooperative work between different equipments, equipments and staff, different staff in aircraft development[1]. In order to more efficiently share and use the digital product content created in this process, the demands on high-performance lightweight visualization tool become more and more strongly. Compatibility[2] and interactivity[3] are the two most important indicators when choosing a lightweight visualization tool. Variety of different tools may be used to create digital products during the design process, the compatibility between lightweight visualization tools and digital tools helps to enhance the user’s experience. The interactivity of lightweight visualization tools is also indispensable, it can timely discover the problems of geometric dimensions, tolerance annotations, elements conflict, and interference, give a comprehensive evaluation of the design, and then provide an effective medium between engineering, manufacturing and other downstream participants.
