Abstract
Abstract. DieTech project intends to assist polymer engineers in en-hancing the process of designing extrusion dies for the production of thermoplastic profiles with a Virtual Reality (VR) solution. Merging VR techniques and peripherals (such as an electronic glove, a stereoscopic projector and a tracking system) was essential to provide an immersive and fully three-dimensional solution to the user. The interaction with the application is possible through gestures and hand movements, lead-ing towards the creation of an interaction graph. Several volunteers with extrusion die knowledge tested the solution and filled a simple survey to evaluate it. Their opinion is unanimous in con-sidering the application effectively useful for extrusion die design. 1
