Abstract

This paper presents the early stages of my PhD work, which consists of a solution for supporting end users in configuring eXtended Reality (XR) environments, exploiting templates created by experts. The proposed approach is based on an EUD [8] methodology for solving this problem, employing Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rule-language defining the environment behaviour and the design of an immersive authoring interface.
