Development of virtual interfaces using configurable templates

Technological evolution dictates the need to make human-computer interactions (HCI) more natural. This need has led to the development of virtual reality (VR), which offers improved user-computer interaction. This study proposes to increase user, HCI designer and software engineer integration, exploring the user's cognitive aspects and VR resources. The HCI designer, working with the user and aided by the appropriate computational support using VR, is able to support the software engineer throughout the entire system development cycle. A prototype of a computational environment is presented with configurable templates (where a template is a predefined virtual environment containing objects that characterize it) to support the development of virtual interfaces, allowing for the exploration of HCI resources in a 3D environment. An example of an application is also given.
