Digital Product Development

Digital Product Development

Carlo Belardinelli developed a sound module for the VDT platform, which enables interaction with acoustic information in virtual reality for applicationes in the various domains of virtual engineerings (e.g. product development or the digital factory). He presented the results at the IEEE Workshop on Applications of Digital Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics WASPAA in in New Paltz, New York, USA on July 23-26, 2007.

Tamasz Juhasz developed methods and tools that improve collaboration between designers and simulation experts to test and optimize new mechatronic products. The results of his ressearch formed the basis of his doctoral dissertation submitted to Budapest University of Technology and Economics. He presented his findings at two international conferences, the 10th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation UKSim 2008 in Cambringe, England on April 1-3, 2008 and the 1st International Conference on Climbing and Walking Robots and the Support Technologies for Mobile Machines CLAWAR 2008 in Coimbra, Portugal on August 8, 2008.
