How Important is Animation in creating a VR Experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animation in general, is very essential in VR in many ways, and on different levels. Let’s say we are exploring an architectural design in VR, wouldn’t the experience be more immersive if the viewer was able to open doors? This simple interactive component greatly raises the user’s engagement in the scene, making it a memorable, more enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from non-essential interactivity like opening doors, some VR Scenes require animated objects as basis to the experience. Mechanical designs, Product design, and Training in VR can not be of any real value without animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to create Animation in SimLab Composer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"Animation<\/figure>
\n

Creating animation in SimLab Composer is very easy, the first step is to reveal the time line by clicking on the Animation Tab<\/em><\/strong>, at the bottom left corner. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Move<\/figure>
\n

The second step is to move the current time slider<\/strong><\/em> to any frame.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Transform<\/figure>
\n

The last step would be to transform the object<\/em><\/strong>. Transformation may include, moving, rotating or scaling the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A keyframe will be created at the current frame, and at frame 0.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
