PAINTER

About Project

Procedurally assisted INTErchangeable reality

The PAINTER project consists in the implementation of a collaborative framework for the creation and edition of virtual environments using VR and AR devices. The purpose is to explore new interaction paradigms for content creation within virtual reality, supported by augmented reality tools and procedural content generation. The main solution consists of a centralized virtual simulation system, accessible to VR/AR devices, smartphones, or other interaction devices, and connected simultaneously.
