PROJECT SYSTEM
Project Introduction
The aim of Project Sputnik is to enhance the immersion and realism of VR/AR experiences by developing a drone-mounted sensor system that can create photorealistic full-body avatars, enabling a broader and more interactive range of social interactions within virtual and augmented reality environments.
Use Case
David has a remote meeting with his co-worker. A drone follows him and takes pictures to create a virtual version of him in a virtual reality (VR) world. Both David and his co-worker wear VR headsets, so it feels like they’re in the same room. They can talk, share work, and move around in this VR space. The drone keeps tracking David, detecting his poses, and updating the virtual David during the meeting, making it feel real. After the meeting, they’re excited about their next virtual catch-up.
