Project project

VRoom is a virtual reality (VR) platform designed to enhance remote collaboration and learning. By leveraging the immersive experience of VR, users can connect in a shared virtual space to communicate, visualize, and interact in ways that traditional video conferencing cannot offer.

Objective

The primary objective of VRoom is to create an accessible, intuitive, and feature-rich virtual environment where users can:

• Collaborate on projects or ideas as if they were in the same physical space.
• Conduct dynamic presentations and workshops with interactive elements.
• Foster a sense of presence and connection among remote team members or learners.

Features

VRoom includes the following key features:

• Room Connection: Users can easily join a shared virtual space using a unique room ID.
• Interactive Whiteboard: A 3D drawing tool that allows users to sketch ideas and share visual concepts in real-time.
• Pointing and Interaction: Utilizing VR controllers, users can point at objects, navigate menus, and interact with the virtual environment through raycasting.
• Slide Projection: Users can upload and display slides within the virtual room, facilitating presentations and educational sessions.
• Voice Communication: Integrated voice chat enables clear and seamless communication among participants, with spatial audio to enhance the sense of presence.

Technologies Used

VRoom is built using a combination of cutting-edge technologies:

• Unity VR: A cross-platform game engine used as the platform for virtual reality development.
• C#: A flexible, object-oriented general purpose programming language ideal for virtual reality development.
• Mirror Networking: An open-source netoworking extension for Unity, used for room connections.
• OpenAI: Used for quering a GPT model for responses.

Benefits

• Enhanced Collaboration: Provides a more engaging and effective way for teams to work together remotely.
• Accessibility: Accessible from anywhere, requiring only a VR headset and internet connection.
• Scalability: Easily scalable to accommodate small teams or large groups in a single virtual space.
• Immersive Learning: Offers an immersive platform for education and training, making complex concepts easier to understand.
