 A template approach for coupling virtual reality and CAD in an immersive car interior design scenarioVincent Meyrueis, Alexis Paljic, Laure Leroy and Philippe Fuchs International Journal of Product Development, 2013, vol. 18, issue 5, 395-410 Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a method for using jointly the resources of the virtual reality and CAD. The aim is to improve the designers' productivity, particularly in the automotive field. This paper presents a first approach using a bidirectional link between CAD and virtual reality systems that allows parts product modification during a functional virtual simulation review of a car interior. For this, we propose to use a template that gathers different information necessary for the set-up of the immersive simulation and that allows data exchange for product modification. Our approach has been evaluated through an experimental case based on the modification of a button on a vehicle dashboard. In this context, different interaction paradigms and designer assistances supported by the template have also been addressed.
