Our project, VIPER (Virtual Imaging Peripheral for Enhanced Reality), is an innovative augmented/virtual reality system. It aims to track a user's head location and perspective, utilizing this data to determine camera positioning within a virtual environment. Users equipped with video glasses can interact with this environment, experiencing real-time changes in their viewpoint as they navigate a tabletop-sized space. Key capabilities include RF communication between units, displaying images through glasses, calculating head position using various sensors, and determining angle displacement and distance from the base unit.

What we are doing Our project, code named Virtual Imaging Peripheral for Enhanced Reality or VIPER, is an augmented/virtual reality system. It will track a user’s head location and perspective and use this information to find the location of a camera position in a virtual environment. With a pair of video glasses the user would then see the virtual environment at the cameras location. As the user moves around a table top sized environment their actual and virtual perspective changes, allowing them different viewing angles of the virtual space.
Project-Specific Success Criteria • The ability to communicate using RF between the base unit and head unit. • The ability to display images to the video glasses. • The ability to calculate angle and/or position of head unit using accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass. • An ability to find angle displacement of head relative to IR beacon origin using glasses mounted camera. • An ability to find distance from base to head unit using ultrasonic emitter and receiver.
