Application of Virtual Reality Means in Dashboard Function and Dashboard Assembly Fixture Ergonomic Analysis

Abstract:

Manual assembly has in some areas of production dominant role. For its effective performance the different jigs and fixtures may be used. For the design of such fixtures, it is useful to use CAD systems. The proposed fixture is necessary to additionally verify from the different points of view, including the ergonomic. For the fixture verification from ergonomic point of view, it appears that it is useful to use virtual reality components such as data gloves and their connection to the CAD design. The article describes the application of data glove for the verification of the functionality of the product and the functionality of its assembly fixture from ergonomics point of view.
