Virtual development started in early 1970 with the first CAD software packages. They were very bulky, not interactive and the users worked with punch cards. The computers of those days were as big as 100 PC’s and the power was really poor. But nevertheless 20 years later nobody in the industry would relinquish the new technique because CAD became highly successful in shortening times, offering the possibilities of concurrent engineering and enhancing quality of the results. Thus, CAD and all other CAx tools were a success.
After the establishment of CAx technology there was the necessity to extend virtual development by enhancing visualization quality and real-time intuitive applications by means of Virtual Reality.
As we are now in a virtualized world it seems to be quite simple to install new virtual technologies with enhanced possibilities. The problem is that the difficulties of human-machine-interface are rising over proportional
