VIRTUAL DEVELOPMENT (II & III)
April 22nd. Virtual Development and Visualization belong together. Cars can be built, ergonomic aspects can be tested, building can be constructed and even new cities can be designed. Various aspects of Virtual Development will be addressed with explaining examples.April 23rd. Academic focus II & III, see further down.
