My today’s post on 3D Perspectives is about how to visualize hierarchical information. In CAD and PLM we put a lot of focus on how to visualize model, but how we can visualize information? Have you had chance to think about it? Best, Oleg
Interesting prompt today. What do you think about future of 3D? What will be real immesrsive 3D experience? We are doing 3D on the screen for the last 25 years and recently started to try touch screens. But what about touchable 3D? Take a look and enjoy this video. Do…
I want to touch today topic related to user experience in various PLM systems. Having such powerful function as 3D in user experience is, of course, very important. However, sometimes I think we really overkill by 3D. Few months ago I discussed this in my post (3D Limits…). During this…

My prompt today is about how to improve UI. I’ve seen many times, PDM/PLM systems are trying to put as much as possible information and basically lost screen real estate. Take a look on simple, obvious and powerful approach from Google Labs. So, hide your labels! Get rid of scrolling…
Thinking in loud. I’m looking over many user interfaces of PLM systems and reading “Don’t make me think“. Why every PLM/PDM system is so complex? My observations (not scientific, of course): 1. 50% of User Interface features are not in use. 2. Every system I use, demanded at least 30%…
One of the things I see very important is user adoption. We can develop brilliant technologies, but if nobody uses it, the value of these technologies will be very low. I see Process Technologies as very important for the Product Lifecycle development… One of the problems I see today is…
Well, Product Lifecycle Management sounds like a very profound concept. I can see organizational benefits, values, etc… etc… But I’m not buying yet! You are probably familiar with such behavior – it all sounds good, but people are keeping their positions and not moving. So, I tried to analyze and…
