The article describes an approach for creation virtual reality scenes of workshops for mechanical processing, using three- dimensional models from CAD/CAM and on the basis of "immersion" of the designer in a virtual environment. Applications software and hardware resources used to achieve the interaction between CAD/CAM models of the machine tools, equipment and human avatars and virtual reality environment are described. Conclusions for the advantages and problems of the proposed approach and guidelines for future work also are given.
