Abstract
The paper presents selection process of an appropriate engine to build a dedicated visual configuration system based on Virtual Reality, in cooperation with a city bus producer. The aim was to build a methodology of selection of such a software for a large visual configuration system and to validate it in practice, as there are no available software benchmarks in VR branch. To aid the decision making process, the Analytical Hierarchy Process method was proposed. Several most popular engines were taken into account. Final solution using the selected engine is also presented in the paper as a practical validation example.
