Informational support subsystem for virtual prototyping in design of complex equipment

The paper deals with the support of virtual prototyping processes through the use of advanced threedimensional modeling software and augmented reality technologies that allow to manage and manipulate three-dimensional models using special imaging markers. The architecture of the information subsystem that integrates all the above aspects of virtual prototyping is proposed. The issues of creating a universal database project that contains a data from different modules of subsystem based on established enabling virtual prototypes allowing to create mobile applications with augmented reality are discussed.
