Abstract:
-
A state-of-the-art (SOTA) survey was performed for visualization software
application (VAs) in the context of a rapid response manufacturing (RRM)
environment. VAs are standalone, commercially-available products that have
sophisticated capabilities for interactively visualizing data. The data
includes geometry, image, and scientific date. VAs are integrated within
RRM. In general, integration enables any RRM process to access data from
other RRM processes in the product life cycle. However, having access to
data isn't necessarily useful if it is too overwhelming for a human to use.
VAs offer the potential for users to cognitively integrate the data from
multiple RRM processes to make sense of it and to intelligently use it.
This SOTA describes the capabilities of VAs and methods for integrating them
within RRM to ultimately enable the full potential of VAs to be realized.
