VR and Real-Time Interactivity with Advanced Streaming Capabilities

ScalaCode collaborated with a client to deliver an innovative platform integrating VR environments with real-time streaming and interactive features. Over two comprehensive phases, the project transitioned from a technical assessment and proof-of-concept (POC) setup to the development of advanced functionalities. This solution enables seamless integration of green screen technology, two-way communication, and interactive VR features for an immersive user experience.

Business Requirements

Establish green screen streaming to VR headsets via WebRTC.

Enable camera streaming from a Raspberry Pi for live display and processing.

Develop two-way audio and video communication capabilities.

Create APIs for data upload and rendering within VR environments.

Update the platform with the latest Meta SDK.

Implement real-time interactivity within VR environments based on web user inputs.

Solutions

Green Screen Integration

Rendered green screen feeds in Unity and streamed them via WebRTC to VR headsets. Tested green screen project configuration and WebRTC server logic.

Raspberry Pi Camera Streaming

Configured Raspberry Pi to stream live camera data to a WebRTC server. Merged green screen and camera streams for unied output to VR.

Audio and Video Integration

Developed single-channel and multi-channel options for audio-video communication. Conducted R&D to optimize quality and incorporated Meta SDK for enhanced performance.

Data Upload and Rendering in VR

Designed APIs for uploading data from the web and storing it securely in the cloud. Enabled rendering of uploaded data in VR for user interaction.

Platform Updates

Integrated the latest Meta SDK and xed bugs to ensure compatibility with new features.

Interactive VR Pointer

Captured user input from web-streamed video and transmitted it in real-time to VR. Developed a 3D pointer system that mapped 2D user actions to VR’s 3D space.
