All of the latest technologies to certain extent are applied in this area, among others, wireless sensor networks as well. In this paper a wireless sensor node designed specifically for monitoring of environmental parameters is described. The main advantage of this node is the use of energy harvesting techniques and supercapacitor as power supply method. The absence of batteries affects the reduction of maintenance costs and environmental impact. The paper shows that combination of energy harvesting and supercapacitor represents a sustainable solution of constant power supply of wireless sensor network node.","PeriodicalId":307604,"journal":{"name":"2017 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127659271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cardboard, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PSVR are gradually being accepted and recognized. The realization of VR for information purposes and remote exploration of new areas will become the key point of the application of VR technology in the field of education. This paper demonstrates the realization of VR for information purposes and remote exploration of new areas using HTC Vive. By using HTTP requests, official announcements from the faculty can also be fetched and presented to the user. We propose a system to match a given pair of virtual and physical world for immersive VR navigation. We first take images of the physical world in order to model it via the photogrammetry method. The second task is to 3D model the environment in Blender with all the props in it. After that, custom textured model is introduced to Unity game engine where all the scripting is done.","PeriodicalId":307604,"journal":{"name":"2017 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132997582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
