Under the double diploma course with the Federal Technological University of Paraná Work oriented by: Prof. Paulo Jorge Teixeira Matos Prof. Jorge Aikes Junior Bragança 2018-2019 iv Dedication I dedicate this work to my friends and my family, especially to my parents Tadeu José Viveiros and Vera Neide Cavalcanti, who have always supported me to continue my stud- ies, despite the physical distance has been a demand factor from the beginning of the studies by the change of state and country. v Acknowledgment First of all, I thank God for the opportunity. All the teachers who helped me throughout my journey. Especially, the mentors Paulo Matos and Jorge Aikes Junior, who not only provided the necessary support but also the opportunity to explore a recent area that is still under development. Moreover, the professors Paulo Leitão and Leonel Deusdado from CeDRI’s laboratory for allowing me to make use of the HoloLens device from Microsoft. vi Abstract Thanks to the advances of technology in various domains, and the mixing between real and virtual worlds. Allowed this master’s thesis to explore concepts related to virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and extended reality (XR). The development and comparison of Android applications and Microsoft HoloLens aimed to solve a deadlock in the recognition of instructions by the users. We used an interactive manual of assembly and disassembly for taps of residential heaters. Therefore, this work deals with three main parts. Firstly, the exploration of the concepts of VR, AR, MR, and XR. Secondly, 3D modeling and animations techniques. Finally, the development of applications using Vuforia, Wikitude, and MRTK. The users tried our application “HeaterGuideAR” to verify the effectiveness of the instruction passed by the interactive manual. Only a few users had some difficulties at the beginning of the trials. Thus, it was necessary to provide aid tools. However, other users were able to disassemble the faucet without any external help. We suggest continuing this work with more explorations, models, and situations. Keywords: Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, Extended Reality, 3D Modeling, Vu- foria, Wikitude, MRTK, Interactive Manual. Resumo Graças aos últimos avanços tecnológicos em diversas áreas deram a possibilidade de fazer a mistura do mundo real com o virtual. É com este intuito que esta tese de mestrado veio expor os conceitos relacionados à realidade virtual (RV), realidade aumentada (RA), realidade mista (RM) e realidade estendida (RE). O desenvolvimento e comparação de aplicativos Android e Microsoft HoloLens teve como objetivo resolver um impasse no entendimento de instruções por parte dos usuários. Utilizamos um manual interativo para montagem e desmontagem de torneiras de aquece- dores residenciais. Este trabalho, portanto, lida com três partes principais. Na primeira, a exploração dos conceitos de RV, RA, RM e RE. Na segunda, modelagem 3D e técnicas de animações. E por fim, o desenvolvimento de aplicações usando Vuforia, Wikitude e MRTK. A aplicação “HeaterGuideAR” foi testada pelos usuários afim de verificar a eficácia da instrução passada pelo manual interativo. Apenas alguns usuários tiveram algumas dificuldades no início dos testes. Sendo que, foi necessário fornecer algumas ferramentas de auxílio. Mesmo assim, outros usuários conseguiram desmontar a torneira sem ajuda externa. Sugerimos continuar este trabalho com mais explorações, modelos e situações.

Article Info Received on 21-November-2019, Revised on 12-December-2019, Accepted on 21-December-2019, Published on 26-December-2019. ABSTRACT In this paper we shed light on the advancement in Virtual Reality devices and talk about six latest developments. Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that allows a user to interact with a simulated computer environment, whether that environment is a simulation of the real world or an imaginary world. It is the key to experiencing, feeling and touching the past, the present and the future. It is the means of creating our own world, our own personalized reality. It could range from creating a videogame to taking a virtual tour of the universe, from walking through our own dream house to experiencing a walk through a strange planet. With virtual reality, we can experience the most intimidating and exhausting situations by playing safely and with a learning perspective. However, very few people really know what virtual reality is, what are its basic principles and its open problems.

  • Virtual Reality: What Is the State of Play in Education?
    Australian Journal of Educational Technology 1998, 14(1), 60-74 Virtual reality: What is the state of play in education? Colin Macpherson Central Queensland University Mike Keppell University of Melbourne Background The term 'virtual reality' (VR) is currently used to describe a range of computer-based systems in which a user can explore a hardware and software generated 'microworld' that bears some resemblance to reality. An early application of such systems was the flight simulator used to train pilots. However, it is in the area of hi-tech games that many of the more recent developments in this field have occurred. Typically, a user will wear a helmet containing either a small video screen positioned in front of each eye, or a device that projects images directly onto the user’s retinas. She might also wear an elaborately wired glove that provides tactile feedback as she attempts to physically interact with the computer- generated visual environment. It was on devices and systems of this nature that our proposed investigation was to concentrate. Although this has remained the case, we have expanded our work to also include VR that mainly uses screen-based graphics – thus reflecting the expanded definition of VR (more of which later). Overall aim Our overall aim was to determine the nature and capabilities of VR devices and systems that have already been developed, and of those that are under development; and to investigate the educational and instructional uses to which these devices and systems are already being put and to which they may be put in the near future.

  • Augmented Reality for Unity: the Artoolkit Package JM Vezien Jan
    Augmented reality for Unity: the ARToolkit package JM Vezien Jan 2016 ARToolkit provides an easy way to develop AR applications in Unity via the ARTookit package for Unity, available for download at: http://artoolkit.org/documentation/doku.php?id=6_Unity:unity_about The installation is covered in: http://artoolkit.org/documentation/doku.php?id=6_Unity:unity_getting_started Basically, you import the package via Assets--> Import Package--> custom Package Current version is 5.3.1 Once imported, the package provides assets in the ARToolkit5-Unity hierarchy. There is also an additional ARToolkit entry in the general menu of unity. A bunch of example scenes are available for trials in ARToolkit5-Unity-->Example scenes. The simplest is SimpleScene.unity, where a red cube is attached to a "Hiro" pattern, like the simpleTest example in the original ARToolkit tutorials. The way ARToolkit for Unity organises information is simple: • The mandatory component for ARToolkit is called a ARController. Aside from managing the camera parameters (for example, selecting the video input), it also records the complete list of markers your application will use, via ARMarker scripts (one per marker). • A "Scene Root" will contain everything you need to AR display. It is a standard (usually empty) object with a AR Origin script. the rest of the scene will be children of it. • The standard camera remains basically the same, but is now driven by a specific ARCamera script. By default, the camera is a video see-through (like a webcam). • Objects to be tracked are usually "empty" geomeries (GameObject--> Create empty) to which one attaches a special AR Tracked Object script.
