Abstract

Computer technologies are increasingly integrated into the technological processes of woodworking enterprises, replacing partially or completely traditional ones. The use of immersive technologies in furniture design, which includes human interaction with space, information, and content, was no exception. Immersive technologies (immersive − “creating the effect of presence, immersion”) are augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR).

Immersive technologies are continually becoming more sophisticated and evolving thanks to the abundance of technology, software and hardware. In connection with the active development of virtual reality (VR), there is a high demand for new experiences in VR not only in popular culture, but in education, industry and other leading sectors of life. Using this technology will allow us to interact and immerse ourselves in the information and product of the design.

The virtual reality technology − VR considered in the article makes it possible to significantly simplify, reduce, and in some cases exclude some stages of product design, in comparison with classical methods of three-dimensional furniture modeling, which, in turn, will reduce the duration of the process and the cost of the finished product.
