    Abstract

    This paper describes and categories benefits of the use of VEs in design review meeting collected from two industrial case studies. Main benefits are: (1) the information and knowledge sharing; (2) the user participation and requirement management; (3) the design decision making and learning; (4) the visualisation and immersion of VE systems; (5) the enhancement of designers' experience of the use of product; (6) the evaluation of different lifecycle phases, and (7) the time and cost savings. Based on this and other studies it has become clear that there are different types of benefits and classifying and defining them in e.g. cost, time or effort is difficult. This paper classifies these benefits in three categories: (1) VEs; (2) design, and (3) business, and describes relations between them.
