Description Premise
In the last few years, virtual reality is establishing as a must have technology in several areas, ranging from videogames, to medicine or engineering. In the aerospace industry VR applications are now emerging as common tools supporting different activities, such as:
• Astronauts training
• Missions planning
• Realistic simulations
• Scientific data representations
Data representation and visualization is the context in which a technology like VR can give the best results: what is the best way to understand the meaning of data if not see them with your own eyes?
Objective
The thesis will start with the study and familiarization with the Astra Data Navigator (ADN) software, a 3D tool to visualize star catalogs and simulate solar system.
The goal of this thesis is completing the porting of the current ADN desktop version to immersive VR devices such as Oculus Quest 2, through the development of a layer that will allow for the parallel updating of both versions as the tool grows.
Major activities include:
• The refactoring of the user interface for both desktop and immersive version adapted uses.
• The updating of the current input system with the newer one introduced by Unity.
• Include a voice command system.
