Knowledge-based approach to adaptive XR interface design for non-programmersKnowledge-based approach to adaptive XR interface design for non-programmersM. Maik et al.

Customizing extended reality (XR) interfaces presents a significant challenge, especially for users with limited programming expertise. This paper introduces the method for adaptation of XR interfaces (MAXI-XR), a novel approach to simplify the customization process of XR user interfaces through knowledge technologies. MAXI-XR offers a user-friendly solution for interface design, supporting users with varying levels of technical skills. The basis of MAXI-XR is its Semantic Knowledge Base, which facilitates intelligent adaptations through advanced querying and reasoning, enabling the extraction of user-specific information for context-based XR interface adaptation. The functionality of MAXI-XR is demonstrated by its application in a VR stock market data visualization system. This system demonstrates MAXI-XR’s ability to adapt to complex and data-intensive environments according to user requirements, improving the interaction experience. Furthermore, the method’s scalability and ease of maintenance make it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications beyond stock market visualization, suggesting its potential for broader adoption in various XR domains.
