Details of Completed/Ongoing Project:

1) Virtual Campus Tour – MetaRIT v1.0 (VR)

2) Engine Assembly
3) AR Medicinal Plants (AR)
4) RIT Buildings (AR)
5) Scavenger Hunt (AR)

1) Virtual Campus Tour – MetaRIT v1.0 (VR)

Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful and interactive technology that changes our life unlike any
other. Virtual reality, which can also be termed as immersive multimedia, is the art of
simulating a physical presence for the audience in places both real and imaginary. The objective
is to make a virtual campus for RIT using a game engine (UNREAL Engine 5). The core of the
metaverse is to facilitate the digital transformation in every aspect of our physical lives. The
main goal is to make a digital copy of our RIT campus in virtual reality and The virtual world is
simulated in the Head-mounted display (HMD).
2) Engine Assembly:
The concept of the Engine assembly is completely a training based tutorial provided for
the freshers by the automobile companies. This VR Engine Assembly project is here
introduced to completely change the scenario of undertaking real time training. This
software will be an actual twin for the real time engine assembly concept. The freshers will
take up the training and assessment of assembling the engine virtually using the VR Engine
Assembly software. This will help in avoiding creating damage to some most expensive
engines and also the training time will be easily repeated until the fresher is clear in the
concept.
Engine Assembly
 3) AR Medicinal Plants (AR):

MEDICINAL PLANTS AR is a mobile application built using AR technology. The motive of the
application is to make people learn more about medicinal plants and their properties using
augmented reality.

With the AR camera of this application which uses image processing, the user can scan the
generated QR code specifically made for each variety of medicinal plant. After the QR code is
successfully scanned, the information about the plant will be augmented. Various types of
information about the respective plant such as the Botanical name, English name, Tamil name, uses
and advantages, etcetera will be augmented by the application. The user can interact with the
augmented details about the respective plant. The instructions for “How to use the application” was
added in the home page of the application. The user can access the AR camera in the home page to
which a pleasant background music is also added.
PROJECT FLOW:

a. MEDICINAL PLANTS AR

This application is runnable on both Android and iOS platforms. The user can open the
application and directly land into the home landing page. Pleasant Background audio is added. And
the user can read the instructions given in the home page about “how to use the application”.

b. LANDING PAGE
After reading the user instruction set, the user can access the ARcamera mode by clicking on the
circular AR button.

c. ARCamera MODE

Once the user clicks the circular AR button, the application directs the user to ARcamera
mode in which the mobile camera will be accessed. The user needs to find and scan the image
targets (QR codes) with the ARcamera.

d. INTERACTABLE AUGMENTATION
The intractable augmented details about the medicinal plants will be displayed over the image
targets respectively. The user can interact with the hexagonal plates to learn about the medicinal
plants values.

4) RIT Buildings (AR):

Augmented Reality has its origin from the word “Augment” meaning to add or enhance. Augmented
Reality is a combination of a real and a computer-generated or virtual world. In the field of
architecture, understanding a plain 2D building plans is a complex task for inexperienced people.
With the developing technology like Augmented Reality, the difficulties faced by the various
architects and their clients can be reduced. The main motive of the application is to make the
complex 2D building plans and previous constructed buildings into an interactive 3D augmentation
of the building. This project plays a vital role in providing a mobile application which helps anyone
to visualise an interactive 3D augmented building model instead of carrying some building plan
sheets or an image collection.

ARCamera Mode:
5)Scavenger Hunt (AR):

Scavenger Hunt is a game based mobile application built using AR technology with the
motive to create awareness of COVID-19. The theme of the game is similar to a treasure hunt,
where user has to find answers & clues for many riddles and questions, accomplish a set of
tasks/objectives in order to prevent the spread of the COVID-19.

Projects Planned

1. FUNCTIONABLE CAMPUS - MetaRit v2.0 (VR):

The v1.0 MetaRit is a complete walk through simulation of virtual RIT campus. MetaRit v2.0 is a
upgradation of the virtual tour to a interact able world. This version will support multiplayer
functionality in which the two or more users can be in the same place. The extension of the project
is where users can interact with each other such as playing games (Football, chess, etc.), using the
virtual lab as such in real life, and many more interesting activities.

2. ENGINE ASSEMBLY (VR):

The concept of the Engine assembly is completely a training based tutorial provided for the
freshers by the automobile companies. This VR Engine Assembly project is here introduced to
completely change the scenario of undertaking real time training. This software will be an actual
twin for the real time engine assembly concept. The freshers will take up the training and
assessment of assembling the engine virtually using the VR Engine Assembly software. This will
help in avoiding creating damage to some most expensive engines and also the training time will be
easily repeated until the fresher is clear in the concept.

3. CAR LAUNCHING EVENT (VR):

One of the most expensive event that takes place in the globe is the car showcase/launching
event. Many automobile companies spend a lot of money (more that million dollars) for a launch
event. This VR Car Launch Event will reduce the cost immensely. The car launch event can be taken
place in any type of scenarios which is not possible in real time world (Eg. Outside the planet Earth,
In middle of an ocean, etc…) . There will be different styles used in this to showcase the cars
immensely in the reduction of the cost.

CAR LAUNCHING EVENT (VR):

In a real world car launch events, there are many challenges faced. Some of them are,
choosing the venue, whether condition, more expenditure, power outage, safety measures,
transportation mishap, etc... There are many other challenges too faced during a live launch event.
And expected style of showcasing the cars might be very difficult. Creating a suitable theme for a
suitable model is another most challenging task. The existing model is a real time launch event and
a beginning stage of VR car launch events. The VR car launching event which is present today is
constructed within a certain limits. And the real time launch event has many challenges to be faced.
There are many expenditure spent by the company for marketing and branding the car and all
those promotions are in very old classy methods.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY (VR):

In the world of vast development and technology, due to certain complexity, a single
mistake in implementation or a process could generate an unwanted or unexpected outcome
which may cause wastage of resources. Even in the field of industrial machine
assembly/automobile engine assembly/circuit designing, a single mistake by an inexperienced
trainee or professional due to a lack of concentration and various possibilities could result in
massive property damage. Any trainee must be able to practice and develop his skills without
the fear of making any irreversible property damage. Anything which seems impossible in real
life becomes possible when we enter virtual reality. A virtual reality-based application to
facilitate and provide a virtual training session to a trainee without the need of any human
being (trainer) and the need for a real-life engine model/parts to experience the simulation of
engine assembly virtually from any point of view is the best alternative.

STRESS RELIEF MANAGEMENT

Solution:
Many researchers are suggesting that increased aggression can only become even more
serious if people vent it by breaking or destroying things. So the answer to the question is that rage
rooms can be used for entertainment purposes. But whether they can be used to vent anger is a
huge question.

Many people try to vent out their anger by punching a punching bag. They think that
they can use it as a way to release their pent-up anger ,But studies show that they only get used to
releasing their anger in some way. They may even hit a bystander to vent their anger. So the ways
to release anger can also lead to dangerous situations. Even-though their anger may decrease for a
while; in the future, it is likely to increase even more.

When we destroy electronic such as computer monitors, CPU towers, laptops, keyboards,
printers, fax machines, TVs and any other electronics it produces electronic wastes which can be
prevented by VR rage room.
