ISSv3: from human motion in the real to the interactive documentary film in AR/VR

Abstract

This is a small research-creation interactive augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) documentary prototype. Its design extends the predecessor AR mobile app component incorporating AR footage previously only available in traditional mobile screen into a VR world. The mobile app prototype runs on iOS and Android and integrates interactive 3D models and objects in the VR world, the previous app did not have in an effort to increase engagement and educational aspects appealing to a wider audience. The focus of this project is to enhance user engagement and create immersion for interactive documentaries by combining Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in order to create virtual worlds where users can enjoy watching, hearing, and reading content. We develop Illimitable Space System v3 as inspired by v1 in early days that used both motion capture and initial lower end augmented reality setup.
