Abstract

In this progress period technicians and companies very often need to simulate some events such as people walking or moving some objects from one place to another. This contribution is focused on one kind of virtual reality (VR) - MOCAP (Motion Capture) and on the creation of graphical scripts for the animation of models. VR is used also in the process of workplace design. Firstly, the workplace is designed and prior to its real building there are different conditions simulated. Once the manufactory is optimally designed, the realization of its building starts. VR has a very important role in these stages, because it can bring significant financial savings. The result of this simulation is a workplace, which makes provision for ergonomic requirements as badly designed workplace increases additional costs and assembling time. Currently, most companies try to prepare the projects of new products by simulations and analyses rather than assumptions or conjecture.
