Try out and compare variants

Function

In Halocline Performance you can compare different variants for a work area by recording the respective workflow process in Performance, replaying and evaluating it. In this way, ideas can be tested quickly without losing existing ideas and having to change them.

Instructions

Try out & compare the variants in Halocline Performance

After you have created your variants in Halocline Layout, you can compare them in Halocline Performance. This gives you a good overview of the advantages and disadvantages of each variant to make an informed decision.

Calibrate your body and use the recording function to record the body movements while running through your process for the individual variants.

The subsequent replay  by the avatar as well as the visualization options (spaghetti diagrams, occupied space, ergonomics) already give you the first indications for a comparison. In this way, you can already gain information about the respective walking- and grasping paths and view critical movements in order to draw conclusions about your respective variant.

Tip:

If you find serious points of change in the variant, you can adjust them directly in Halocline Layout.

Comparison of the variants by using the tabular report

To get a clear comparison based on numbers, export the recordings of each variant as a tabular report. With the help of the report you can exactly evaluate

  • how long the processes in the individual variants take,

  • how much movement was done as well as

  • how many and which critical body movements could be detected.

You also get a good overview of parallel movements and the frequency of certain movements and grasped objects. Based on this evaluation, you can make changes to your variant.
