A Combined Immersive and Desktop Authoring Tool for Virtual Environments

While frameworks and application programming interfaces for virtual reality are commonplace today, designing scenarios for virtual environments still remains a tedious and time consuming task. We present a new authoring tool which combines scene assembly and visual programming in a desktop application with instant testing, tuning and planning in an immersive virtual environment. Two authors can work together – one with the desktop authoring application, and the other in the immersive VR-simulation – to build a complete scenario.
