Commercial virtual reality headsets for developing augmented reality setups to track three-dimensional motion in real time

This article is devoted to the issues of visualization and information processing, in particular, improving the visualization of three-dimensional objects using augmented reality and virtual reality technologies. The globalization of virtual reality has led to the introduction of a new term "augmented reality"into scientific circulation. If the current technologies of user interfaces are focused mainly on the interaction of a person and a computer, then augmented reality with the help of computer technologies offers improving the interface of a person and the real world around them. Computer graphics are perceived by the system in the synthesized image in connection with the reproduction of monocular observation conditions, increasing the image volume, spatial arrangement of objects in a linear perspective, obstructing one object to another, changing the nature of shadows and tones in the image field. The experience of observation is of great importance for the perception of volume and space, so that the user "completes" the volume structure of the observed representation. Thus, the visualization offered by augmented reality in a real environment familiar to the user contributes to a better perception of three-dimensional object.

Through virtual interaction and multivariate communication, the social interaction and life satisfaction of elderly people can be improved. This study integrated virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to construct a visualized reminiscence therapy system, which provides not only reminiscence entertainment but may also aid in dementia prevention for healthy and sub-healthy (a therapeutic working concept which defines an intermediate stage between health and disease) elderly people. Images taken by an LG 360 CAM are primarily introduced into Power Director 360 as the guide interface. The special effects are joined using After Effects. With the model constructed under 3ds Max, the reminiscence therapy system integrated by virtual reality and augmented reality is then established by the Unity engine. It is shown that the developed 3D ancient building model can be used by Samsung Note 5 smartphones as well as VR CASE glasses to increase the immersive experience for the elderly. Through nostalgic elements triggered by the AR/VR three-dimensional model and video/audio interaction, the feasibility of our integrated system for reminiscence therapy is thus verified. Through reminiscence therapy, memories and thoughts can fully be activated as a therapy for elderly people. The visualized reality system developed in this study can further promote the social interactional satisfaction of elderly people.

Real Scenario

Augmented reality technology is applied so that driving tests may be performed in various environments using a virtual reality scenario with the ultimate goal of improving visual and interactive effects of simulated drivers. Environmental conditions simulating a real scenario are created using an augmented reality structure, which guarantees the test taker’s security since they are not subject to real-life elements and dangers. Furthermore, the accuracy of tests conducted through virtual reality is not influenced by either environmental or human factors. Driver posture is captured in real time using Kinect’s depth perception function and then applied to driving simulation effects that are emulated by Unity3D’s gaming technology. Subsequently, different driving models may be collected through different drivers. In this research, nearly true and realistic street environments are simulated to evaluate driver behavior. A variety of different visual effects are easily available to effectively reduce error rates, thereby significantly improving test security as well as the reliability and reality of this project. Different situation designs are simulated and evaluated to increase development efficiency and build more security verification test platforms using such technology in conjunction with driving tests, vehicle fittings, environmental factors, and so forth.
