This work-in-progress paper summarizes the recent results of the EU FP7 research project ManuVAR (211548) - Manual Work Support throughout System Lifecycle by Exploiting Virtual and Augmented Reality. In ManuVAR it is proposed to define a Virtual Model concept for bi-directional communication of various actors across the lifecycle. In this paper we focus on the architecture of the virtual model, its implementation and applicability in industry.", address = "Goteborg", journal = "Proceedings of NordDesign 2010, the 8th International NordDesign Conference", keywords = "Bi-directional communication; Manual work; Product life cycle management; Product-life-cycle; Sharing information; System lifecycle; Virtual and augmented reality; Virtual models; Work-in-progress, Augmented reality; Industry; Knowledge manageme", note = "cited By (since 1996)0; Conference of org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.DOMAdapter@5df9a922 ; Conference Date: org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.DOMAdapter@31cf2761 Through org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.DOMAdapter@17226ad3; Conference Code:89390", pages = "195-204", title = "{T}he role and architecture of the {V}irtual {M}odel for {M}anual {W}ork {S}upport throughout {S}ystem {L}ifecycle", year = "2010", }
