Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) is a digital technology in Virtual Product Creation which provides an immersive environment for reviewing, analyzing, interacting and potentially even creating technical systems and products as well as other objects of interest (sculptures, city environments etc.). This chapter introduces Virtual Reality (VR) as a major technology within the reality-virtuality environment in order to make it applicable for product creation tasks with respect to product engineering, manufacturing engineering, support in product use as well as product service and maintenance. The chapter explains technological solutions (e.g. viewing, tracking, modeling) which are key to realize immersion, imagination and interaction with VR. Today's engineering applications of Virtual Reality in industry are described and future innovative VR based design interactions are introduced.
