Dynamic creation of interactive mixed reality presentations

In this paper, we describe a method of dynamic creation of interactive presentations for Mixed Reality environments. The presentations are created automatically for collections of multimedia objects arbitrarily arranged in virtual presentation spaces stored in a database. Users can navigate between the spaces using Web and 3D multimedia contents. The objects in each space are presented through a presentation template, which determines both the visualization and the interaction aspects of the presentation. The possible user interactions are described using a novel language called MR-ISL. The presentation templates are coded in X-VRML, a high-level modeling language. The method can be used in various application domains. Examples discussed in the paper relate to presentation of cultural heritage and educational resources.
