Abstract
The main goal of our work is to allow designers to replace physical mock-ups by virtual ones in order to test the integration and space requirements of satellite components. To this end, PROVIS combines a “desktop VR” interface with an interactive 3D display. This paper describes how PROVIS allows users to interact with flexible or articulated objects, for testing maintenance procedures and component accessibility, thanks to an original use of genetic algorithms.
