A virtual reality framework for the design review of complex industrial assemblies: case study on the interiors of Superjet 100 aircraft

This work concerns the development of a virtual reality environment aimed at design review of complex industrial assemblies. Virtual reality clearly shows its effectiveness when different and very specialized designers have to interact each other in setting up complex projects. Virtual Design Review (VDR) allows multiple designers to simultaneously analyze and review the project, providing the necessary tools to highlight possible design flaws and make choices in real time. In facts, not only designers, but also production engineers can be involved in the critical review process, according to the concurrent engineering design paradigm. The case study focuses on the design review of the interiors of Superjet 100
