Entering the VR Station

A VR station was made to display their Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS), offering a cutting-edge virtual reality experience. where we synced batches of 10 VR devices to manage the high inflow of traffic  For this virtual reality technology showcase we opted for a conspicuously stylized experience instead of a photorealistic look, owing to the requirement of showing eminently heavy sensor data.  Multiple design languages were selected, and we ultimately went for the semi-realistic low poly style which is in trend currently and was the best fit for the requirement. We made the city entailing gradient-filled neon lights and the look was replicated for the car. The inner functioning of the sensors was showcased with the aid of the filled neon lights.  A POC was made for this followed by developing custom shaders and materials based on which the city was designed. A 4-minute video taking the users on a joy ride through the city was made. and showcased through VR technology. Multiple scenarios were depicted to show how the smart tech in the car is leveraged in times of emergencies like how the car will put an automatic break if the driver is distracted, an adoptive beep is produced if someone is passing by the wrong lane, and how it automatically detects a blind-spot. This video was made to explain the intricacies of ADAS technology to the users in a simple yet engaging way that would captivate viewers while imparting the necessary information.

The robotic arm was an ingenious solution designed by syncing three different elements. A to-scale model was made, acrylic and laser prints for the car models were done along with deciding on the kind of materials to be used and a screen to be put behind the surface. An interactive robotic arm software was installed comprising a physical robotic arm picking a dummy car and taking it through different scenarios. Rigorous experimentation was done with the colors and materials, for identifying the type of roughness of the material that created the best illumination effect. The robotic arm software was controlled wirelessly through an iPad, which was later fed with all the stories. Multiple POCs were created to make the content visually appealing, and we finally decided to opt for the POC that could touch the robotic arm’s 6 DOF limit in terms of rotation and movement. Profuse movements were added to the screen content like the 360-degree movement of the car with the car moving, to make it visually enticing.  Three core technologies of V2X i.e., Vehicle to Vehicle, Vehicle to Pedestrian, and Vehicle to Infrastructure were featured in this installation. Comprehensive animated scenarios were prepared and played through interactive story playouts. The robotic arm was the ultimate showstopper of the event which caught hold of all the attendees’ attention without them knowing about the nuances involved in the functioning of the robotic arm.

The Functioning

To run the robotic arm efficiently, a custom python code software was developed to fasten the content calibration.  The software replaced the manual receipt of the signals to receiving the signals automatically, saving a considerable amount of the team’s time and effort.
