Abstract
In virtual prototyping and assembly validation, visual images of physical components of a product are captured through a camera inbuilt in an augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) wearable device, registered as 3D models in a virtual workbench. When a first voice command is received to initiate recording, continuous visual motion signals are received as trajectories corresponding to assembling a 3D model of a component. They are recorded as an installation view of the component. The 3D model of the component is dynamically validated while assembling the virtual workbench. The installation view of the component and an installation view of a next component is stored as an animation assembly file. The animation assembly file may be extracted from the AR/VR application and stored in a visual enterprise application as a visual enterprise format such as visual design stream.
