Next Generation Product Development Tools - Part 21
The idea for this series originated over a year ago with something I witnessed in Second Life: a mother and daughter collaboratively designing virtual clothes with the help of an in-world, user-created tool. I was astounded simply because I knew them to be unsophisticated computer users.The motivation to write this series came shortly after, and mostly from what I learned subsequent to writing “A Virtual World-Based PLM for the Fashion Industry” (reLink). How could I not dive into this topic after learning of IBM’s work with FIT and also seeing what Optitex was doing?Add to these things the buzz surrounding Double Happiness jeans manufacturing and it made sense to try to make sense of what was happening. After all, what I was seeing was my “Smiley Face Savvy” entry (reLink) in the early stages of being realized.The Future of CAD is Immersive SimulationOne of the other things that popped up on my radar around that time was a Design News podcast titled “Virtual Reality: The New Weapon In Product Design”. Give it a listen and then take a look at the most recent virtual freeCAD application video:No, Cobalt on a computer monitor isn’t a virtual reality system of the sort mentioned in the podcast (at any mentioned pricepoint). And as far as CAD goes, freeCAD isn’t even close to being the equivalent of Pro/ENGINEER or SolidWorks, let alone some of the simpler CAD systems floating around on the Net.But it’s a start.And while freeCAD isn’t something I can use professionally at this stage of its development, in eight or ten years I may very well be using it - or something spawned from it or influenced by it - to design products collaboratively with (overseas) clients. When that happens, it’ll sure beat sending CAD files asynchronously via email, which is what some companies are still doing.ShareThis

Next Generation Product Development Tools - Part 20
In my last entry I ended with this question: “At what point do non-monetary motivational factors - reputation and empowerment - overwhelm the barriers to entry for average people?” It’s an especially timely question because the interface barriers are dropping so rapidly.Minority Report technology no longer seems like science fiction; in fact, YouTube is filling with it. And once-daunting 3D application tasks are routinely simplified into “I can do that” activities (e.g. ILoveSketch).Consequently, it may not be long before increasingly sophisticated users reach the proverbial tipping point where mere apprehension of using a 3D application is no longer an issue preventing them from attempting to learn. And of course, when the barrier to entry lowers, so does the necessary motivation. Read the rest of this entry »ShareThis

Next Generation Product Development Tools, Part 19
In Parts 1-6, I mostly covered hardware; starting off with an entry which showcased a low-cost augmented reality demonstration video as a pointer to the future, and then covering fabrication processes which included a video showing how electronically “captured” movements could be converted into tangible objects.

Next Generation Product Development Tools, Part 18
In my last entry I touched upon how the opportunity to improve one’s social reputation would encourage some people to learn 3D modeling; especially as new, task-specific interfaces such as Spore’s “Creature Creator” make traditionally difficult applications easier for novices. Social reputation - especially within the framework of the videogame community or popular online social networking sites - is one non-monetary incentive for learning 3D CAD. Personal empowerment - particularly within one’s “real” world community - is another. Read the rest of this entry »ShareThis

Next Generation Product Development Tools, Part 17
In my previous post I made the assertion that besides monetary reward, everyday people would increasingly endeavor to acquire 3D modeling skills as a consequence of two non-monetary incentives: social reputation and personal empowerment. I’ll briefly touch on the first in this entry. Read the rest of this entry »ShareThis

Next Generation Product Development Tools, Part 16
In Parts 7 and 8, I applied a “Web 2.0″ filter to software in general, and then CAD in particular. With that filter in place, I’ve been primarily focusing on tools. At this point it’s time to pan the view and focus on people; especially the up-and-coming generations who will use and primarily benefit from these tools.- Read the rest of this entry »ShareThis

Next Generation Product Development Tools, Part 15
In Part 10, I claimed “the future of CAD is cooperative”. This might seem obvious, but one look at current ongoing difficulties reveals the magnitude of the non-cooperative problem. It’s an inconvenient fact of life for too many of us and the reason I spent so much time examining the ongoing shift in the CAD industry; a shift which is arguably a result of efforts to circumvent artificial barriers and market reactions arising from those efforts. However, having spent a fair portion of that time discussing two of the three roadblocks - data portability and proprietary formats - I want to briefly touch on the third: extensible semantics.

Next Generation Product Development Tools, Part 14
This is probably a good time for a brief, updated review.In Part 7, previous installments were reviewed and the impact of Web 2.0 thinking on digital tools was discussed; particularly usability and collaboration.In Part 8, a Web 2.0 “filter” was applied to a specific set of digital tools, 3D CAD applications; with tool migration to the masses being the central thought.
