Product Design Using Virtual Reality

Product design is an important step in creation of a new product or service. It involves the modelling of the product and also various other steps to make it unique. Conventional CAD modelling involves the usage of standard peripheral like keyboard or mouse. In this paper, Virtual Reality (VR) is used for developing a 3D product design tool. This supports more control over the dynamic models and gives a more improved user experience. Using this tool user can access 3D modelling area along with the toolbox through the VR headset. User can then create the model and interact with it using his/her hand. These interactions are monitored which in turn gives response to the processing unit to generate the model. Once the modelling is done, the model can be saved to the system in a format supported by a 3D printer or any other format supported by different modelling tool.
