Abstract

An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) (100) for creating a touchless Virtual User Interface (VUI) 120 is provided. The IDE can include a development window (152) for graphically presenting a visual layout of user interface (UI) components (161) that respond to touchless sensory events in a virtual layout of virtual components (261), and at least one descriptor (121) for modifying a touchless sensory attribute of a user component. The touchless sensory attribute describes how a user component responds to a touchless touchless sensory event on a virtual component.
