An empirical approach for improving the applicability of a virtual environment (VE) technology to manufacturing tasks is presented and discussed by considering the technological and economical perspectives. The three-step analysis framework, which consists of evaluating overall feasibility, assessing potential benefits, and conducting cost/benefits analysis, was developed to support researchers in choosing an appropriate VE method and in designing a cost-effective VE application. The usefulness and limitation of the framework were reviewed with a case study in which VE technology was used to improve the performance of dimensional inspection tasks as a means of providing the initial validation of the analysis framework. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
