Navidezno potovanje s pomočjo panoramskih slik in Oculus Rifta

Hrlec, Matej (author), Divjak, Saša (mentor), Marolt, Matija (co-mentor)

V okviru diplomske naloge smo prikazali navidezno potovanje po izbrani poti z uporabo spletnih storitev za geolokacijo in naprave za navidezno resničnost, s pomočjo katere se postavimo v tridimenzionalni svet. Celoten proces poteka precej hitro, saj bi v nasprotnem primeru počasen prehod med slikami negativno vplival na uporabniško izkušnjo. Aplikacija je narejena v jeziku C# in zasnovana v ogrodju .NET. Podatke za prikaz zemljevida in panoramskih slik smo pridobili s pomočjo storitev, ki jih ponuja Google. Njeni glavni funkcionalnosti sta izbira poti na zemljevidu in hitro predvajanje Google Street View panoramskih slik na tej poti. S tem smo dosegli takšen učinek, kot da bi posneli izbrano pot iz avta. Za implementacijo navidezne resničnosti je bila uporabljena naprava Oculus Rift Development Kit 2, da bi pa v celoti izkoristili njegove zmogljivosti, je bil integriran v WPF aplikacijo.

• Title: Virtual journey based on panoramic images and Oculus Rift

Abstract

In the context of the diploma thesis we have visualized a virtual journey on a selected path with the use of web services for geolocation and a device for virtual reality with which to immerse in the three-dimensional world. The whole process is quite quick in order not to negatively influence the user's experience. The application is made in C# language and based on the .NET Framework. The data for maps and panoramic images has been obtained from services provided by Google. Its main functionalities are path selection on a map and a very fast playback of Google Street View panoramic pictures. In this way we achieve such an effect as if we recorded the selected route from the car. Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 was chosen for implementing virtual reality and in order to take full advantage of its capabilities it has been integrated into a WPF aplication.
