Abstract

Today, industries face challenges such as the pressures of global economies, the growing and diversification of consumer expectations and demands, and the proliferation of product complexities. In order to survive in a competitive market, it is necessary for industrial companies to develop innovative products and improve product quality, reduce product costs and shorten the time to market. To remain competitive, companies are aiming to be effective by introducing new design methodologies and processes by applying computer technologies to reduce operating costs and improve products. Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Prototyping techniques are new technologies that are developed by high-tech organizations. Although these computer technologies are promising, adopting them does not bring any organizational benefits. The purpose of this study is to introduce and analyses the existing computer-interactive visualization technology and VR. Methodologically, by defining VR, product developing and product life cycle and applied in product development projects. As a result, the findings from the study show that VR system should be profitable to product development projects.
