    The use of digital human models is nowadays complex and needs specific knowledge due to its complex user interface. This paper presents a possible approach to instruct digital human models in virtual reality environments. In order to instruct a digital human model we use hand and finger tracking technology to detect virtual grasps. These virtual grasps are used to instruct the digital human model. Furthermore this paper suggests and presents an architecture with a data exchange file format for the communication between digital human models, virtual reality and hand tracking.

    The development of complex mechatronic systems demands an integration of models throughout the virtual product development process. Systems engineering is an approach for enabling the development of successful interdisciplinary products. Traceability, one of the most important aspects of systems engineering, is a method for explicit documentation of logical relationships between development artifacts. In this paper we present a prototype traceability tool, ModelTracer, which aims to reduce the cognitive effort for the creation and maintenance of traceability models in systems engineering.
