Abstract

Virtual reality has become a valuable tool for training and problem-solving, and creating animations in VR provides several advantages over traditional tools by increasing sense of presence within the scene. This paper presents an animation tool that allows novice animators to create multi-object animations using motion paths in VR. The proposed prototype is compared to the animation tool in an existing VR application. While previous studies have proposed VR animation tools, they are often targeted at experts or are missing key features such as animation with multiple objects. The comparative analysis evaluates the perceived usability and workload based on quantitative questionnaires as well as a qualitative interview. The results show the proposed tool to be superior in terms of perceived usability, however, we also found that having several motion paths could clutter the view and that future work is required in the visualization of these.
