Description

The goal of this topic is to develop a (multi-user) telepresence setup in which users connect to a shared virtual world via different 3D technology. HMD-based virtual and augmented reality, curved stereo LED wall and stereo CAVE should be accommodated.  Some form of shared interaction in this miltimodal setup should be developed. All users need to be tracked and adequately represented to their collaborators. For example, users immersed with head-mounted displays should be represented as virtual avatars to the CAVE and LED wall users. A suitable spatial configuration of the shared workspace should be developed for each display technology. Users can be tracked with Qualysis and Moverse systems available in the MR Lab.

The topic is available as a PR (Praktikum/Project). The work on the topic will take place in the MR Lab: https://www.vr.tuwien.ac.at/mrlab/

Tasks

  • Develop a muti-user scene in which users immersed with VR glasses can connect to users immersed with a stereo LED wall and polarized glasses. All users should be correctly tracked in their respective environments
  • Develop a form of shared interaction
  • Develop a simple demo scenario for the setup

Hardware and Software

  • Unreal Engine
  • Meta Quest
  • Stereo LED wall (MR Lab)
  • Stereo CAVE (MR Lab)
  • Qualisys and Moverse tracking systems

Requirements

  • Knowledge of Unreal Engine
  • General understanding of multi-user workflows is advantageous
  • General understanding of 3D interaction is advantageous
