Abstract
AbstractCurrent VR/AR system development studios lack a toolkit that can automatically generate hierarchical tile menu layouts and menu prototypes for VR/AR devices without the need for user programming. This paper proposes a solution in the form of a toolkit that automatically generates a hierarchy tile menu layout using a modified circular treemap algorithm. Users can interactively arrange and resize tiles to create various layouts according to their preferences or needs, utilizing a circle packer method. The toolkit further automatically generates a VR/AR menu prototype based on the resulting layout. Notably, reprogramming is not necessary each time the hierarchy is modified or the menu layout is redesigned. The user test results demonstrate that the proposed toolkit simplifies the creation of hierarchical tile menu layouts, enhances user efficiency in the design process, and enables users to flexibly create hierarchical tile menu prototypes according to their design ideas.
