Abstract

The market of virtual reality techniques, tools and solutions is increasing fast, and more people are getting access to those items. Nevertheless, an integral approach for making a well-founded selection and/or combination is lacking. This publication outlines initial explorations and implementations that will lead to an adaptive platform that enables the effective and efficient integration of virtual reality tools and techniques in product development processes.
