A successful implementation of the Model-Based Enterprise concept (MBE) requires
maximizing the potential benefits of annotated 3D models. The foundations of the MBE …

Increasing specialization of design, manufacturing, assembly, and inspection have fostered
the need for sophisticated product documentation practices to allow the clear and …

Abstract Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the available literature on
Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). It aims to investigate the impacts, guiding …

The increasing offer of software tools for product development introduces methodological
questions to design engineers in terms of the easiness of tool integration and design …

With their practical introduction by the 1970s, virtual product data have emerged to a primary
technical source of intelligence in manufacturing. Modern organization have since then …

The paper presents an attempt of real, industrial, engineering knowledge modeling, used in
a small company. The authors concentrate on the concept of personal/team knowledge …

In this paper, we describe a voice-based interaction mechanism to annotate 3D models
directly from a computer-aided design (CAD) modeling environment. The audio signal is …

In order to accurately guide on-site workers to quickly accomplish the assembly job of
complex products, and reduce the deployment cost of assembly instruction, we propose a …

We compared three techniques to specify 3D positions for collaborative augmented reality
(AR) visualization. AR head-mounted displays allow multiple users to share the same …

Globalization has transformed engineering design into a world-wide endeavor pursued by
geographically distributed specialist teams. Widespread adoption of VR for design and the …
