Abstract :
This paper explains how assembly planners are nonintrusively interrogated whilst immersively assembling virtual reality-modeled products. Product/process knowledge can be formalized, proving that techniques exist which can elicit `expert´ knowledge using VR. This methodology may have profound implications for the interrogated and globalized virtual technology-based engineering environments of the next century
