Abstract
The use of Virtual Reality as a visualization and validation environment allows developers, distributors, manufacturers, and customers alike to virtually handle the future product from its specification to service and recycling and to realistically assess it with regard to features and performance. The subject of Virtual Engineering not only affects processes on the operative level but aspects of corporate and managerial development in particular, as well as the planning, development, implementation, utilization, and customization of IT systems.
