Abstract

This paper presents practical results of a new, open approach to knowledge formalization and management in Virtual Reality applications for use in industry, especially in design and training purposes. Idea of applications with open access to knowledge is presented. Three cases of VR systems are shown – two for the design and one for training, all implemented in industrial companies in Poland. The focus is put on concepts of storing and easy editing knowledge in the applications, in a way to ensure self-sufficiency of applications in a given company after deployment. Dedicated tools for knowledge edition are presented, along with selected results of their implementation in scope of effectiveness of expanding the knowledge base.
