Week 41 - VR project

 Week 41 - VR project

Contributor: Vlad


For the VR project, we agreed on the idea of making our XR lab into a virtual reality immersion. For that Ionut scanned the entire room with his iPhone which had Lidar sensors and depth scanning camera. The result was pretty close to reality, it needed a few adjustments for looking closer to reality. Meanwhile, I and Karlo started to work on the room decoration. I implemented the RGB light stripe with a switch button for room illumination. Karlo and Ionut worked on spawning Christmas decorations for the room, which was possible by choosing what you want to spawn from your remote attached to the hand. Also, a whiteboard where you could draw with a marker was implemented. Everything went fine until we got to test the app with the VR headsets where some performance problems were encountered, the motion was not smooth, and there was a feeling of a very low fps rate. We figured out the problem, it was the post-process profile,  the bloom effect which was giving the light a realistic effect. So it has been decided to turn it off for being able to maintain a stable performance experience.

Individual reflections – Vlad Bobeica 293145

List of main contributions to the projects: Marker-based AR  - participated along with the team in creating a Space shooter game in Unity by importing the 3d models & working on animations, and object collision. Markerless AR - imported and adjusted 3d models of the solar system, and created the information panel present on top of each solar system object. VR assignment - created the room RGB lights effect controlled by a switch. AR assignment - took part in creating the navigation route required to reach specific points of interest. From the first XRD lesson, was taught the different types of interactive experiences such as AR which enhances a user's real-world environment with computer-generated graphics. VR is a technology that allows a user to interact with a computer-generated environment as if it were a real place, this requires the use of a special VR headset. XR is the umbrella term that includes both VR and AR, as well as other technologies that enable immersive exper...

Individual reflections – Karlo Plepelic 300545

Individual reflections – Karlo Plepelic 300545 To start of my introduction to my personal reflections, I will be talking about my biggest contributions for each of the projects of this course: ·          Marker based AR – as for this project we have decided that we would be working together for the whole process of this project and therefore we have met in the XR workshop and were working together and conducting research of the set task. The first idea that came to our minds for the Marker based AR experience was a space shooter type game where we would have level design connected to one of the markers and a player “Spaceship” to fight against “bots”. In the start of the development for this project I have been a little confused regarding the options available in Unity overall and therefore wasn’t sure where to start. Having said that, with a few hours of research I have gained a pretty good idea on how to orient around Unity. In continuation ...

Week 46 - One to last week of XR Project Lab Hours

  Week 46 - One to last week of XR Project Lab Hours Contributor: Karlo For this week we have connected what Ionut has been working on and what I have done in the last week where both of us completed the line navigation to the specific place with a camera view. To continue the development we have decided to create some UI where the user can select a specific place to be directed to. Furthermore we have done a QR scanning of QR codes where it would reset the player position to where the person is actually standing in real place to be able to navigate the user towards their specified ending place. Moreover the AR application is at this point done and it needs to be properly tested. The full application features offer the user the possibility to open the application and select the place they want to be navigated to, what's more, user’s can enable the navigation line to offer the live navigation to the previously specified place. Users can also see a small map of their location and the...
