Customized toolbox in VR Design

Abstract

Designing in an environment of Virtual Reality is a field that gains ground. Although more and more applications are constantly released, the majority of designers have not yet been introduced into Virtual Reality. A widely used tool for designing is Rhino which has been released by McNeel and Rhino Developer encourages the users to create plug-ins for custom use of the software. In parallel, Meta's developing tools offer their users the chance to customize their own applications. Towards the direction of Virtual Reality integration, both have already released new products for their users. RhinoVR is an open source plug-in for Rhino, while at the same time Meta provides Oculus hardware and platform solutions for users to turn their concept into reality. What is yet to be developed is a model that encourages the customization of a VR design platform, focusing mainly on developing a personalized toolbox for designing.
