A Mixed Reality System for Design Engineering: Thinking, Issues and Solutions.
Nelly de Bonnefoy, Jean‐Pierre Jessel · 2004
Despite the extended use of Digital Mock-Up (DMU) applications during the development of complex aeronautical products, some major changes can be requested in order to correct deficiencies or to improve further products performances, especially when the first one comes out production. These changes are discussed upon the current product configuration and imply trades-off between different competencies involved in the product's lifecycle. Based on a specific use case, we first highlight the underlying issues associated to the development and introduction of Mixed Reality (MR) systems. We tackle these issues from cognitive and ergonomic points of view as well as technical. Then, we propose several MR solutions, which will be studied further during the two remaining years of our research project. Theses solutions will then be evaluated against the specific needs and requirements of the aeronautic industry.
