Naravna interakcija za mobilno navidezno resničnost

Prosenik, Uroš (author), Lebar Bajec, Iztok (mentor)

Navidezna resničnost (angl. virtual reality, VR) na tehnološkem trgu povzdiguje vse več prahu. Prav tako vse več mobilnih naprav, ki jih uporabniki uporabljajo za vsakodnevne potrebe, podpira in je dovolj zmogljivih za izvajanje VR aplikacij. Zaradi tega se na trgu pojavlja vse večje število VR očal, ki skrbijo za projekcijo slike z zaslona mobilne naprave na uporabnikove oči. Ta očala so lahko od različnih proizvajalcev in raznovrstnih oblik. Mnoga ne posedujejo nobenih dodatnih kontrolnih gumbov za interakcijo z mobilno napravo. Tako uporabnik, ko mobilno napravo enkrat vstavi v očala, ostane brez možnosti interakcije z navideznim svetom, saj nima dostopa do zaslona in gumbov naprave. Trenutno se ta problem v VR aplikacijah rešuje z osredotočenim pogledom uporabnika v objekt, s katerim želi izvesti interakcijo. Na primer uporabnik odpre vrata s pet sekund trajajočim pogledom usmerjenem na njih. Cilj diplomske naloge je zgoraj navedeno interakcijo nadgraditi in uporabnikom dodati možnost interakcije v navideznem svetu z naravnimi kretnjami. Namen je izdelati algoritem, ki bi skrbel za zaznavanje uporabnikovih interakcij v navideznem okolju iz uporabnikovih kretenj samo z uporabo senzorjev iz mobilne naprave. Ta bi tako nadomestil površine na dotik, upravljalnike na VR očalih ter vse ostale dodatne bluetooth upravljalnike, ki skrbijo za dodatne možnosti kontrol. Prav tako pa bo razvijalcem omogočena enostavna implementacija algoritma v njihove aplikacije. Tako se bodo odprle nove možnosti pri razvoju novih aplikacij in načinov iger.

• Title: Natural interaction for mobile virtual reality

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) has recently become a real hit. Also, an increasing number of mobile devices that are used for everyday needs support and are powerful enough to run VR applications. As a result, the market is growing in number of VR glasses, which project the image from mobile device screens to user eyes. These glasses can be from different manufacturers and different shapes. Many VR glasses do not provide any additional controllers for interaction with the mobile device. The user is limited, once the mobile device is inserted into the eyewear, they remain without any means to interact with the virtual world, because there is no way to access the screen and buttons of the device. Currently, these problems in VR applications are solved with the use of the user’s gaze direction. For example, the user opens the door by staring at them for 5 seconds. The goal of this thesis is to develop new interaction techniques and give users the ability to interact with a virtual world with natural body movements. The task is to create an algorithm which would be responsible for detecting interaction from the user's gestures using only sensors already built in mobile devices. This would replace touch pads and buttons on VR glasses and all other additional Bluetooth controllers that provide additional control options. Also, it will allow developers to easily implement this algorithm in their applications and give them more options for the development of new applications and ways of gaming.
