Abstract

Virtual Reality is gaining traction as a medium. But generating virtual reality scenes is still a challenge as manipulating and arranging 3D objects is a complex task requiring the mastery of specialized tools. SuperSQL is an extension of the SQL query language that lets users format relational data into different kinds of structured documents. In this paper we propose an extension of SuperSQL that generates a virtual reality scene from information about 3D objects stored in a relational database. This system enables users with no knowledge of virtual reality tools to create 3D scenes such as a virtual museum using a simple SQL-like query.
