Entorno de inmersión virtual interactivo

Abstract

The increasing use of Virtual Reality (VR) devices is becoming more noticeable in the areas of entertainment and education. For example, the use of devices such as the Oculus Rift and VR goggles for first-person video games; In the area of education, smartphones offer the capability to visualize 3D objects in museums through the camera. The applications for this technique are varied, thanks to that, this project focuses on the areas of education for engineering and architecture. The main focus is to create a software that, through one of the branches of VR, Augmented Virtuality (AV), students and researchers of the Engineering and Architecture departments of the Pontificia Javeriana Cali University can interact with a partially immersive visualization of their 3D models through a projection wall, using computer graphics techniques, a game engine for development and a Microsoft Kinect as an interaction device. The user’s immersion and experience is evaluated as they use the software, hoping to provide a different, satisfying and entertaining experience during the learning process of the target audience.
