Content Creation and Authoring Challenges for Virtual Environments: From User Interfaces to Autonomous Virtual Characters
نویسندگان
چکیده
How is content for virtual environments (VEs) created? How is behavior and motion in VEs specified? How are user interfaces designed and implemented for VEs? Authoring is a crucial aspect for using VEs successfully. This chapter addresses some of the current challenges in authoring VEs and recent research directions that are being explored in order to address these challenges. One highly relevant use case is the definition of motions to be executed by virtual characters. For this, motion modeling interfaces are presented that facilitate the process of programming the motions of virtual agents in VEs.
