Özet

Virtual reality technologies, which provide an interactive and immersive 3D experience and visualization in real size, have currently spread to many fields like gaming, health, education, military, and also product design. Studies about applications of VR technologies in product design have begun to increase from year to year. This study aims to give suggestions about the topics that the next studies can focus on by scanning articles published between 1997 and 2021 systematically according to six macro-categories (early stages, co-design, 3D modeling, virtual assembly and prototyping, mechanical simulation, finite element method (FEM), product evaluation and education) and the technologies (HMD, desktop, and CAVE) used which is developed by Berni and Borgianni (2020).
