Virtual Design of Ship Cabins by Computer
Leather, wood or cloth? So far, the owner had to make these decisions without any visual reference to the actual ship’s interior. Fraunhofer IGD shows how this will be easier in the future at SMM 2014 in Hamburg, Germany, from September 9-12. While only engine power and size mattered for yachts in the past, the focus is mainly on their design with fine materials and top-quality interior furnishing today. So far, designers had to decide on the interior design by means of cloth or material samples or commission costly models. Customers only saw what the finished yacht would eventually look like once the construction process was complete.
