VR Grand Piano

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

I created a virtual grand piano on 3ds Max and integrated it into Unity to use it with my MIDI keyboard, allowing me to play music on a grand piano from anywhere. Inspired by the stunning anime ‘Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso’ (English name: ‘Your Lie in April’), I designed a virtual environment to immerse myself in while playing.

The goal is to integrate this project with VR and/or MR.

Currently a work-in-progress, I plan to add real-time changes to the environment and particles based on the music being played.

Special thanks to Alexandre for his invaluable help!

You can check out some videos, screenshots and rendering for now.

The Labyrinth of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Fri, 05 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Our team developed an immersive VR application based on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, where users must navigate a labyrinth to find the Goblet. The app was developped in the context of a 4-day VR/MR hackaton organized by Inria Rennes on the theme “cinema” and won the first prize.

In this magical world, users are equipped with a wand and can cast spells by making the correct gestures. Lumos allows them to use their wand as a flashlight, Wingardium Leviosa to levitate objects, Alohomora to open doors, and Patronus to defend against Dementors.

To enhance users’ sense of presence in the virtual environment, we employed impossible spaces techniques (as described in Yu et al.’s Bookshelf and Bird’s paper) to create a seamless and natural walking experience.

To further immerse users in the wizarding world, we incorporated various stressors, such as fog, spiders, and dementors, to create a more engaging experience.
