abstract = {This paper outlines the center stage of my PhD research, which aims to empower non-developer users to create and customize eXtended Reality (XR) environments through End-User Development (EUD) techniques combined with the latest AI tools. In particular, I describe my contributions to the EUD4XR project, detailing both the work completed and the ongoing developments. EUD4XR seeks to support end-users in customizing XR content with the assistance of a Large Language Model (LLM)-based conversational agent. © 2025 Copyright for this paper by its authors.},

abstract = {Recent advancements in eXtended Reality (XR) technologies have found application across diverse domains. However, creating complex interactions within XR environments remains challenging for non-technical users. In this work, we present EUD4XR, a project aiming to: i) empower end-user developers (EUDevs) to customize XR environments by supporting virtual objects and physical devices; ii) involve an intelligent conversational agent which assists the user in defining behaviours. The agent can handle multimodal input, to drive the EUDev during the rule authoring process, using contextual knowledge of the virtual environment and its elements. By integrating conversational assistance, EUD4XR seeks to lower further the usage barriers for end-users to personalize XR experiences according to their needs. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.},
