Virtual Dashboard VR

Our team developed a VR app that enables students to use a virtual whiteboard to aid learning in virtual classrooms.

Our Process:

Before starting the project, we performed a profound study on the 3D engines that we could use for the project and the VR headsets that are available on the market. We have chosen the Unity engine due to its rich functionality, the amount of available learning materials, and expertise with the .Net ecosystem. For the VR headset, we opted for a standalone room-scale Oculus Quest headset for its popularity, good performance, hand tracking via controllers, and 6 Degrees of Freedom movement.

Benefits and Results

Our team successfully:

• Implemented the VR app with a virtual classroom that enabled students to use a virtual board with VR room equipment (a marker, an eraser, etc.) for educational purposes

• Implemented user poses and synchronized animation via the server using real-time communication based on Websockets

• Designed and implemented an intuitive whiteboard drawing experience, which helps to mimic real-life drawing and overcome tactile feedback limitations of VR

HoloLens MiniGolf

Testing new technology can bring challenges, but also can be a highly rewarding experience. Our skilled developers created a completely new mixed-reality experience for the Microsoft HoloLens. We debuted our HoloLens MiniGolf game for visitors at the Akvelon exhibit space during the GeekWire Sports Tech Summit.

Akvelon’s MiniGolf experience for the Microsoft HoloLens allows its users to play a round of virtual golf in any room or in real-world space, and also showcases the possibility of pairing other devices with the HoloLens in order to use them as a controller or a tool, and to help with building the virtual course to fit real-world surroundings.

The HoloLens MiniGolf app can connect with its sister app on Android devices. This allows smartphones to be used as controllers for the putter in the MiniGolf experience. The Android apps also allow users to build a fully customized course featuring different obstacles to fit their surroundings.

Holographic Interior App

Holographic Interior App is a Microsoft HoloLens application written in C# and Unity3D that displays room interiors with furniture and other objects. Moderators create the room projects and add 3D furniture objects to fill them. As a result, clients can observe the room the way it would look with all the furniture arranged.

Achieved Goals

• Thanks to our experience in design and development, we successfully created the Unity HoloLens-integrated application

• While implementing the Holographic Interior App, our team also applied the existing practical experience of the VR app development in the framework of the Unity ecosystem and HoloLens
