Abstract:
In manufacturing engineering, man-machine interaction has gone from typical online programming techniques into virtual reality based offline programming methodologies. Today, a wide range of offline software tools is used to imitate, simulate and control real manufacturing systems. However, also these new methodologies lack capability when it comes to human-machine communication. This paper aims to introduce a software platform, called VALIP, where users can build, share and manipulate 3D content, and collaboratively interact with processes in a 3D context, while the participating hardware and software devices can be spatially and/or logically distributed and connected together via internet. This unique approach makes the VALIP outstanding among its competitors. The paper also presents a practical solution to a production task.
