VRIXML : A User Interface Description Language for Virtual Environments
Erwin Cuppens, Chris Raymaekers, Karin Coninx
Abstract
When modeling virtual environments, the designer has to consider the interaction of the user within
the generated world, next to the appearance of the environment. Part of this interaction is supported
by a user interface, which can be used to manipulate the objects that are contained in the environment.
This paper investigates the possibility of using a XMLbased user interface description language in order
to design a user interface and specify its behavior within the virtual environment. Some existing languages
are examined and compared, and afterwards the syntax and features of our own description language, called
VRIXML, are presented.
