In HCI research papers, interaction illustrations are essential to vividly expressing user scenarios arising from novel interactions. However, creating these illustrations through drawing or photography can be challenging, especially when they involve human figures. In this study, we propose the DirActor system that helps researchers create interaction illustrations in VR that can be used as-is or post-processed, by becoming both the director and the actor simultaneously. We reproduced interaction illustrations from past ACM CHI Best and Honorable Mention papers using the proposed system to showcase its usefulness and versatility.
