Abstract :
This paper gives a survey of the integration of basic computer aided design functions in a virtual reality environment. Motivated by the limited input and output devices of present CAD systems, we try to improve the human interaction by using VR for operation in a three dimensional space. This paper presents the underlying data structures and operations, through which the user can transpose his ideas. Some applications are also presented
