Abstract

This paper demonstrates a VR-HFE design revision tool that integrates VR within the concept stage to help increase error mitigation. The tool was built using a combination of game engine components, network development, and C#. The tool currently includes the ability to import design files, implement changes, measurements, personnel dummies, and involve multiple engineers within the same environment. The tool allows for rapid transition from the model space to VR visualisation, while allowing for design revision applications to be provided. The applicability of this tool is demonstrated through a proof of concept for VR interaction within ship design revision application of HFE focused compartments.
