Overview

Randomized trial assesses maintainability through VR tool in product development, suggesting efficient design processes.

Key Points

  • To propose and verify a new immersive methodology using a VR tool for assessing maintainability in product development.
  • Conducted an experiment with 21 participants comparing two design alternatives in two case studies.
  • Utilized the TOPSIS method for evaluating alternatives based on maintainability analyses.
  • Performed ergonomic assessments using VR with OWAS.
  • Identified the most suitable design solution using TOPSIS methodology.
  • Participants expressed strong interest in using the VR tool for future workflows.
