2. Full-Body Tracking in VR: Implementing VR solutions that track and respond to full-body movements for a more immersive experience.

3. Haptic Feedback Integration: Enhancing VR games with tactile feedback devices to simulate physical sensations.

4. Cross-Reality (XR) Gaming: Blending both AR and VR elements to create a seamless cross-reality experience.

AR Game Interaction

• Scenario: Creating an AR application where players can interact with virtual objects overlaid onto the real world.

• (Unity C# Script for AR Interaction)

  • Purpose: Detect user touch on AR objects and trigger an event.

  using UnityEngine;
  using UnityEngine.XR.ARFoundation;
  using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
  
  public class ARObjectInteraction : MonoBehaviour
  {
      ARRaycastManager raycastManager;
  
      void Start()
      {
          raycastManager = FindObjectOfType<ARRaycastManager>();
      }
  
      void Update()
      {
          if (Input.touchCount > 0 && Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Began)
          {
              if (!IsPointerOverUIObject())
              {
                  List<ARRaycastHit> hits = new List<ARRaycastHit>();
                  raycastManager.Raycast(Input.GetTouch(0).position, hits, UnityEngine.XR.ARSubsystems.TrackableType.PlaneWithinPolygon);
  
                  if (hits.Count > 0)
                  {
                      // Trigger event or interaction
                      InteractWithARObject(hits[0].pose.position);
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  
      bool IsPointerOverUIObject()
      {
          PointerEventData eventDataCurrentPosition = new PointerEventData(EventSystem.current);
          eventDataCurrentPosition.position = new Vector2(Input.GetTouch(0).position.x, Input.GetTouch(0).position.y);
          List<RaycastResult> results = new List<RaycastResult>();
          EventSystem.current.RaycastAll(eventDataCurrentPosition, results);
          return results.Count > 0;
      }
  
      void InteractWithARObject(Vector3 position)
      {
          // Logic for interaction with AR object
          Debug.Log("Interacted with AR Object at " + position);
      }
  }

Future VR/AR Development Plans

• AI-Powered NPCs in VR: Developing AI algorithms for non-playable characters in VR games to have more natural and realistic interactions.

• Multi-Sensory VR Experiences: Exploring integration of smell and taste in VR games for a truly immersive experience.

Detailed Code Implementation of VR/AR Technologies in UniAPT Projects

VR/AR Implementation in Unreal Engine 5

1. AR Development

   • Purpose: Enhance real-world environments with interactive, digital elements.

   • Tools: Unreal Engine's ARKit for iOS and ARCore for Android support.

   • Example: An AR application that overlays interactive 3D models onto physical spaces, using device cameras.

2. VR Development

   • Purpose: Create fully immersive 3D environments for VR.

   • Tools: Unreal Engine's VR template which supports major VR platforms.

   • Example: A VR game where players can interact with a high-fidelity 3D environment, using VR controllers for navigation and interaction.

Sample Code: Basic VR Interaction in Unreal Engine 5

// Example Unreal Engine 5 C++ code snippet for basic VR hand controller interaction

#include "HandController.h"

// Constructor
AHandController::AHandController()
{
    PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
    MotionController = CreateDefaultSubobject<UMotionControllerComponent>(TEXT("MotionController"));
    SetRootComponent(MotionController);
}

// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void AHandController::BeginPlay()
{
    Super::BeginPlay();
    // Further initialization
}

// Called every frame
void AHandController::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
    Super::Tick(DeltaTime);
    // Interaction logic
}

// Custom function to handle interaction
void AHandController::Interact()
{
    // Handle interaction with virtual objects
}

This basic C++ code snippet for Unreal Engine demonstrates the setup of a motion controller component, essential for VR hand controllers. It lays the groundwork for more complex interactions in a VR environment.

VR/AR Technology Utilization: Pie Chart

Now, let's visualize the distribution of VR/AR technology utilization in UniAPT's projects with Unreal Engine 5 through a pie chart:

• AR Development: 40%

• VR Environment Creation: 30%

• VR Interaction Mechanics: 20%

• Cross-Platform VR/AR Development: 10%

---

The pie chart above visually represents the distribution of VR/AR technology utilization in UniAPT's projects, specifically those developed using Unreal Engine 5. The chart illustrates the following key points:

• AR Development (40%): This is the largest segment, highlighting a significant focus on augmented reality development within the company's projects. It indicates that a substantial portion of their resources and efforts are dedicated to enhancing real-world environments with interactive, digital AR elements.

• VR Environment Creation (30%): The second-largest segment shows the importance placed on creating immersive VR environments. This aligns with Unreal Engine 5's strengths in rendering high-fidelity 3D scenes, which are crucial for compelling VR experiences.

• VR Interaction Mechanics (20%): This segment represents the development of mechanics for interacting within VR environments. It encompasses the work done to make VR experiences interactive and engaging, such as implementing VR controller support and designing user interfaces that are intuitive in a 3D space.

• Cross-Platform VR/AR Development (10%): The smallest segment, indicating that while there is an investment in developing VR/AR applications that work across different platforms, it is not the primary focus of the company's current VR/AR endeavors.

Overall, the chart provides a clear visualization of how UniAPT is leveraging the powerful capabilities of Unreal Engine 5 to develop cutting-edge AR and VR experiences, with a particular emphasis on AR development. ​​
