Using Virtual Reality Simulation Through Product Lifecycle

This papers present using Virtual reality (VR) simulation trough product lifecycle for product testing that would lead to better new products without faults. Using complete VR product simulation for new products, from design, manufacturing, and maintenance to the end-user and recycle state allows the end-user to test the virtual products, and by providing feedback to reduces design errors and contribute for better design. After production the same VR product simulation can be used for training, virtual user manual virtual user manual, virtual repair maintenance, and for disassembly before recycle. A framework for building VR simulation for designed products is described and working application examples are provided. An expanding of the VR simulation applications for using with extensive range of computation platforms and devices is proposed.
