Intuitively specifying object dynamics in virtual environments using VR-WISE

Designing and building Virtual Environments is not an easy task, especially when it comes to specifying object behavior where either knowledge about animation techniques or programming skills are required. With our approach, VR-WISE, we try to facilitate the design of VEs and make this more accessible to novice users. In this paper, we present how behavior is specified in VR-WISE, as well as the prototype developed for the approach.
