Project number
16025
Organization
Vidi VR
Academic year
2016-2017
The prototype Vidi VR headset creates a 3-D environment using original optics, hardware and software designed from scratch by the team. The integrated camera system and gesture-recognition software allow users to send commands to their existing wearable 3-D camera.
The design uses off-the-shelf optical components and 3-D-printed parts to reduce cost and simplify configuration. The hardware includes three Raspberry Pi Zero microcontrollers equipped with Wi-Fi adapters to streamline functional development and support external applications.
The software combines C++, OpenCV, BabylonJS and Python to process user gestures and display content. This prototype is the first iteration of a new augmented reality product for the sponsor’s company, and will serve as an adaptable base for future development.
