“…The final question suggests that participants were able to quickly iterate on their level using LevelEd VR. The majority of participants strongly agreed (10) or agreed (4) with one participant agreeing somewhat and one neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the statement.…”

“…Their work focuses initially on evaluating the leap motion input system against real life for block manipulation. The wonderland builder [10] made use of a pointing device and voice to interact and allow the placement of premade objects in a scene and is focused primarily on children. Wang and Lindeman's work on the DIY World Builder [11] produced a more sophisticated world builder with terrain creation, object placement and manipulation, however, the focus was more on testing different interaction techniques and there was no gameplay or play testing.…”

Virtual reality entertainment and serious games popularity has continued to rise but the processes for level design for VR games has not been adequately researched. Our paper contributes LevelEd VR; a generic runtime virtual reality level editor that supports the level design workflow used by developers and can potentially support user generated content. We evaluated our LevelEd VR application and compared it to an existing workflow of Unity on a desktop. Our current research indicates that users are accepting of such a system, and it has the potential to be preferred over existing workflows for VR level design. We found that the primary benefit of our system is an improved sense of scale and perspective when creating the geometry and implementing gameplay. The paper also contributes some best practices and lessons learned from creating a complex virtual reality tool, such as LevelEd VR.

“…Creating a VE from scratch was the topic of the 2013 edition of the annual contest held at the IEEE Conference on 3D User Interfaces. The proceedings contain several examples of immersive level editing systems [1,6,11,22,24]. Successively, Wang and Lindeman have studied the transition between different interface modalities (e.g., non-occlusive HMD and tablet) in a level-editing task [25].…”

Current Virtual Reality systems only allow users to draw a rectangular perimeter to mark the room-scale area they intend to use. Domestic environments can include furniture and other obstacles that hinder the ease with which users can naturally walk. By leveraging the benefits of passive haptics, users can match physical objects with virtual counterparts, to create substitutional environments. In this paper we explore two visualisation modalities to aid in the creation of a coarse virtual representation of the physical environment, by marking out the volumes of space where physical obstacles are located, to support the substitution process. Our study investigates whether this process is better supported by an inside-looking-out 3D User Interface (that is, viewing the outside world while immersed in Virtual Reality) or from an outside-looking-in one (while viewing the Virtual Environment through an external device, such as a tablet). Results show that the immersive option resulted in better accuracy and was the one with the highest overall preference ratings.

With the ongoing introduction of wide-FOV VR head-worn displays into the consumer market, the application of VR 3D UIs to professional work environments is attracting increasing attention. One of the most conspicuous concepts is immersive 3D modeling and content creation. In spite of the long research history and multitude of proposed systems, there have been very few analyses of the effect of 3D UIs on productivity in 3D design.In this work, we explore the effect of positional head-tracking and its accompanying parallax depth cues on task performance in 3D object selection and transformation in a setting modeled after 3D design work. Previous studies have come to different conclusions on the importance of positional head-tracking and did not investigate professional 3D modeling tools. In contrast, we performed a user study with design students using professional software on a task that closely emulates their work. Surprisingly, we did not find a significant effect of positional head-tracking on task-completion time, neither when using a traditional 2D mouse nor when using a pinch glove as a 3D input device. Furthermore, we found that the users worked significantly faster with the mouse. We discuss possible explanations and implications for the design of 3D UIs.
