VIP-emulator: To design interactive architecture for adaptive mixed reality space

Abstract

This paper presents an emulator based framework that helps user to design and test an interactive-architecture before deployment in adaptive mixed reality (AMR) space. The concept of smart-media wall (SMW) is incorporated in emulator to design interactive space which has slide and swing movement abilities. SMWs provide flexibility to user in designing more intuitive dynamic space. The proposed emulator also considers SMW parameters such as width, height, and spatial position to architect dynamic mixed reality space. The proposed system has two modes: 1) edit-mode, and 2) play-mode that help users in simulating the movement of SMWs. It also incorporates peer feedback to enhance the typology of the SMWs. The designing of an interactive architecture was simulated numerous times using the proposed emulator. Simulation results proved the usefulness of the proposed emulator system in designing interactive-architecture for AMR space.
