The user will be placed in a chatting room or somewhere beautiful with other users. The user\u2019s body will be tracked in space via a Microsoft Kinect but will visually be replaced by a virtual mapping of a virtual character that the user choose to present himself together with his name above his head and they will wear an Oculus Rift to be placed in a virtual simulation mentioned above. Users will see each other and chat or doing something together. The project is meant to provide the experience of virtual social, but may also provide a means to do a study in which users actions are compared when they meet friends in the real world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project Type:<\/strong><br \/>\nExperience\/Experiment<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interest:<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a project that I would like to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Device(s) to Be Used:<\/strong><br \/>\nOculus Rift and Microsoft Kinect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Things I Know How To Do:<\/strong><br \/>\nI know how to build server for data transfer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Things I Would Need Help With:<\/strong><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know how to track motions and gestures and map them to a virtual character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Description: The goal of this\u00a0project is to create a virtual chatting situation that allow several users chat with each other in the environment provided.
