Abstract:
Virtual Reality (VR) product requires expertise from diverse set of stakeholders. Moving from requirements to design mock-up(s) while building a VR product is an iterative process and requires manual effort. Due to lack of tool support, creating design templates and managing the respective versions turns out to be laborious and difficult. In this paper, we describe VReqDV, a model-driven VR design generation and versioning tool that can address this gap. The tool uses VR meta-model template as a foundation to facilitate a design pipeline. VReqDV can potentially facilitate design generation, design viewing, design versioning, design to requirements conformity, traceability, and maintenance. It is a step forward in creating a Model-Driven Development pipeline for VR scene design generation. We demonstrate the capabilities of VReqDV using a simple game scene and share our insights for wider adoption by the VR community.
