Abstract

One of the main objectives in engineering departments of large industries is the implementation of integrated information systems to manage their projects´ life cycle. EnViron (environment for virtual objects navigation) is an application motivated by the demand to use virtual reality (VR) in large industrial engineering models generated by CAD tools. EnViron´s main goal is to offer 3D visualization resources for CAD models with enough realism to be used for virtual prototyping, collaborative design review, change management systems and training, among other activities.
