Python
Constructed an accurate digital replica of our classroom within the Unity platform.
Utilizing the controller enables simultaneous manipulation of both digital and physical environments.
Bridging digital and physical environments together.
Seesaw
Tilt the bar up or down to adjust
lighting intensity down for
dimmer light, up for brighter light.
Rotation
Rotate the controller to shift the
lighting's color, offering a spectrum
from warm to cool tones.
XYZ Position
Move the Oculus controller in
any direction to change the
lighting's hue, customizing the
color spectrum in real-time.
Before embarking on our main project and our initial venture into VR,
we explored various methods to interact with the digital twin.
Experimenting with hand tracking to manipulate virtual
knobs and utilizing Oculus' physical controller, we discovered
three impactful ways to operate our controller:
Rotation
XYZ Movement

INTEGRATING!
My teammate Robin and I aimed to
integrate these diverse use cases
into a single physical controller, resulting
in our final physical prototype.
