SCeVE
Abstract
Authoring a collaborative, interactive Mixed Reality (MR) tour requires flexible design and development of various software modules for tasks such as managing geographically distributed participants, adaptable travel and virtual camera techniques, data logging for assessment of the incorporated techniques, as well as for evaluating the Quality of Experiences (QoE). In most cases, authors might have to develop all these software modules, instead of focusing only on the virtual environment design. In this article, we propose SCeVE, a component-based framework that supports flexible design and authoring of interactive MR tours by offering ease of access to four major design choices: (i) S ynchronization, (ii) C ollaborative e xploration, (iii) V isualization, and (iv) E valuation. Based on tour requirements, an author can access one or more components (or software libraries) of design choices via SCeVE’s API (Application Programming Interface) services , as demonstrated by the two case studies on group travel in a plant walk MR tour.
