Abstract

This paper shows our work in progress towards an easy to use development environment for Mixed Reality (MR) Applications. We argue that development of MR applications is a collaboration between interaction designers who know about user requirements, and expert developers who know the intricacies of MR development. This collaboration should be supported by tools that aid both roles and ease their communication. We also argue that real MR development should allow easy migration from one hardware setup to another, since hardware greatly varies in these type of applications, and it is important to fit a solution to the particular user's requirements and context.We show the foundational concepts in our work and current Integrated Development Environment (IDE) implementation. This work is based on InTml, a domain specific language for MR applications, and Eclipse, an open source, general purpose IDE.
