Using VR to Validate and Visualize MBSE-Designed Interfaces

MBSE;VR;Interface;Validation

The BIFROST prototype investigates the ability to link an executable system model to a VR system, enabling both systems to interact in near real time and providing an early validation test of our modeled behavior, interfaces, and User Experience. This gives engineers greater confidence in their designs prior to implementation and test while limiting the time and cost of rework experienced in those phases. This paper discusses the prototype, lessons learned, and future research areas.
