Researcher for the Procedurally Assisted INTErchangeable Reality (PAINTER) Project - European Fund - FCTThis project will design and implement a framework for the assisted creation and edition of virtual environments to be used collaboratively in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The objective is to explore new interaction paradigms for editing content inside VR with the assistance of AR markers and procedural content generated algorithms.The main solution will be based on a central virtual simulation system capable of accepting connections with several AR-VR headsets, smartphones, and interaction devices. This framework will be divided in three modules:Content edition in VR: allow to invert the 3D creation process by bringing the user to the virtual world and allowing him to retouch in-loco the virtual objects.Interaction between VR and AR: allow additional users to collaborate in the creation process and to map real-world objects to virtual world actions.Procedural generation: automatic content from external free sources will speed up the creation process of 3D scenes in VR.
