Design review and visualization steering using the INQUISITIVE interaction toolkit

Abstract

This paper describes the architecture of an interaction toolkit for creating virtual environments. The toolkit contains interaction techniques, interaction objects such as menus, spanner and a runtime manager to interface to virtual reality development tools such as Maverik. The toolkit’s use with a number of real-world applications in science and engineering and with different virtual reality development tools is also described. Future plans to provide an interactive interface are described.
