Abstract

Currently, the scenario of a virtual reality application depends greatly of the representation of the virtual environment and the goals of the application. Different needs arise from these elements such as the abstraction level of their events, the presence of multiple actors or their freedom of action. In this paper, we propose a scenario engine model that aims at being used in any virtual reality application where the scenario is a key feature. It differs from other models as it can be used without making any assumption on the simulation purpose or on the modelling of the Virtual Environment (events model, objects behaviour).
