VIRTUAL REALITY GAME DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMISAION WITH EXTERNAL HAND MOTION SENSOR

Summary/Abstract: Virtual reality is an environment simulated by a computer that you can interact with. VR replaces reality with an imaginary world that can be seen through a special head-mounted device (HMD). In this environment, hand tracking is an important task. Many devices do not have this functionality orit is not sufficiently accurate. It is common that hand motion tracking is designed to follow a special hand controller, whereas many applications would require the use of someone's own hand.In this paper I would like to demonstrate the addition of a hand recognition device to VR glasses. In the assignment I added a leap motion sensor to a pair of Windows Mixed Reality VR glasses, which allows hand tracking without a hand controller. The implemented solution was tested in a sample application. The theme of the game is horror, which encourages the player to react quickly. I used an alternative implementation of moving in virtual space in the application. The development of the control unit redesigned for virtual space was done in a Unity based project. The system allows players to perform specific gestures using the thumb and index finger, specifically to press buttons. I evaluated the software using the built-in profiling system, which shows what future optimizations are possible within the project. In summary, we have succeeded in creating a hand recognition system that tracks accurate hand movements in real time, which is a significant improvement in hand recognition implementation compared to the driver produced for the system.
