Abstract

A method for testing and debugging interaction of collaborative mixed reality objects is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving inputs including a first mixed reality object expressed by a first set of attributes, a second mixed reality object expressed by a second set of attributes, a first individual test case associated with the first mixed reality object, and a second individual test case associated with the second mixed reality object. The method automatically generates, from the inputs, a collaborative mixed reality test case to evaluate interaction of the first mixed reality object with the second mixed reality object within a collaborative mixed reality environment. In certain embodiments, a generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture is used to generate the collaborative mixed reality test case from the inputs. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Claims (28)

1. A method for testing and debugging interaction of collaborative mixed reality objects, the method comprising:

receiving inputs comprising a first mixed reality object expressed by a first set of attributes, a second mixed reality object expressed by a second set of attributes, a first individual test case associated with the first mixed reality object, and a second individual test case associated with the second mixed reality object; and

automatically generating, from the inputs, a collaborative mixed reality test case to evaluate interaction of the first mixed reality object with the second mixed reality object within a collaborative mixed reality environment.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically generating comprises automatically generating using a generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising training the generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture using at least one of attributes of mixed reality objects, individual test cases of mixed reality objects, and collaboration logs of mixed reality objects in collaborative mixed reality environments.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the inputs are concatenated prior to input to the generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first and second mixed reality objects are developed and tested separately prior to input to the generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first mixed reality object and the second mixed reality object originate from different sources.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second sets of attributes comprise at least one of physical and meta attributes.

8. A computer program product for testing and debugging interaction of collaborative mixed reality objects, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-usable program code embodied therein, the computer-usable program code configured to perform the following when executed by at least one processor:

receive inputs comprising a first mixed reality object expressed by a first set of attributes, a second mixed reality object expressed by a second set of attributes, a first individual test case associated with the first mixed reality object, and a second individual test case associated with the second mixed reality object; and

automatically generate, from the inputs, a collaborative mixed reality test case to evaluate interaction of the first mixed reality object with the second mixed reality object within a collaborative mixed reality environment.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein automatically generating comprises automatically generating using a generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the computer-usable program code is further configured to train the generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture using at least one of attributes of mixed reality objects, individual test cases of mixed reality objects, and collaboration logs of mixed reality objects in collaborative mixed reality environments.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the inputs are concatenated prior to input to the generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture.

12. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the first and second mixed reality objects are developed and tested separately prior to input to the generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the first mixed reality object and the second mixed reality object originate from different sources.

14. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the first and second sets of attributes comprise at least one of physical and meta attributes.

15. A system for testing and debugging interaction of collaborative mixed reality objects, the system comprising:

at least one processor;

at least one memory device operably coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions for execution on the at least one processor, the instructions causing the at least one processor to:

receive inputs comprising a first mixed reality object expressed by a first set of attributes, a second mixed reality object expressed by a second set of attributes, a first individual test case associated with the first mixed reality object, and a second individual test case associated with the second mixed reality object; and

automatically generate, from the inputs, a collaborative mixed reality test case to evaluate interaction of the first mixed reality object with the second mixed reality object within a collaborative mixed reality environment.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein automatically generating comprises automatically generating using a generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processor to train the generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture using at least one of attributes of mixed reality objects, individual test cases of mixed reality objects, and collaboration logs of mixed reality objects in collaborative mixed reality environments.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the inputs are concatenated prior to input to the generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the first and second mixed reality objects are developed and tested separately prior to input to the generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first mixed reality object and the second mixed reality object originate from different sources.
