The User Experience of Virtual Reality
Description: Toolkit for Next Generation User Interfaces
Version 1.20 1.21 of RUIS for Unity is now available for download . The below video demonstrates some of the new features that have been added since the last release; most of the new features relate to avatar body modification and support for different motion capture systems.
The RUIS toolkit is useful when developing applications for VR studies or VR experiences that employ avatars : as in the previous RUIS version, any rigged humanoid 3D models that can be imported to Unity will work as motion captured full-body avatars. They can also be easily embodied from a first person perspective when using a VR headset.
The new version has a variety of avatar modification parameters (body segment thickness, translation & rotation offset, etc.) that can be used to customize the avatars. The parameters can be scripted and adjusted in real-time to create body morphing effects.
