Abstract

An empirical approach for improving the applicability of a virtual environment (VE) technology to manufacturing tasks is presented and discussed by considering the technological and economical perspectives. The three‐step analysis framework, which consists of evaluating overall feasibility, assessing potential benefits, and conducting cost/benefits analysis, was developed to support researchers in choosing an appropriate VE method and in designing a cost‐effective VE application. The usefulness and limitation of the framework were reviewed with a case study in which VE technology was used to improve the performance of dimensional inspection tasks as a means of providing the initial validation of the analysis framework. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
