软件工程中虚拟现实的启示应用及挑战

The Virtual Reality of Software Engineering:Inspiration,Application and Challenge

软件工程师们都得用键盘和鼠标源与代码进行互动,而且一般都是在2D平面显示器上进行软件浏览。这种互动范式,并未很好地利用自然人类诸多的动作和洞察力的启示。虚拟现实(VR)可以更充分地利用这些启示,使新的创意成为可能,并能提高生产率,降低学习曲线和增加用户的满意度。描述了VR所提供的启示;展示了VR的益处,以及用于现场编码和代码审核的软件工程中的原型,而且讨论了未来的工作,开放性问题以及VR的挑战等等。

Software engineers have to use the keyboard and mouse to interact with source code,and generally browse software in a 2 Dflat displayer.This interactive paradigm does not make a good use of many inspiration from the natural human being actions and insights.Virtual reality（VR）can use those inspiration more adequately,make new creative opportunity possible,improve the productivity potentially,and reduce the learning curve and increase user＇s satisfaction.In this paper,we describe the inspiration provided by the VR,show the benefits of VR and prototype used in the field of compile and code review of software engineering;and discuss the future work,open issues and VR challenges,and so on.
