Abstract

CASIO, a leading manufacturer of digital cameras, electronic dictionaries, and other digital equipment, is a pioneering case study of 3D documentation. Technically creating illustrations from 3D data is easy; what is difficult is deciding who is to prepare the 3D data and how, and who is to encourage the use of this 3D data. This chapter discusses the efforts of Mr. Mitsuhiko Iwata, Manager of the Development Department, Technical Division, Design System Development Group, and Mr. Hideo Kashiwaguma, Manager of R&D, CASIO. XVL was first applied to user documentation and then it spread throughout the company as a communication tool.
