Limitless has created a way for artists to create computer animations while inside a virtual reality world. The company has developed a tool that allows someone to use an HTC Vive VR headset and its hand controls to spell out exactly what will happen as the animation unfolds in real time.

The tool could save tons of hours for animators in creating both prototypes and final animations in VR, said Tom Sanocki, CEO of Bellevue, Wash.-based Limitless, in an interview with GamesBeat. It will also make it much easier for non-professionals to create their own animations in VR.
