Utilize affordable 360 cameras and VR headset like Google Cardboard to create a virtual environment.

The project is under supervision of Professor Steve Engels and Professor Paul Gries at the University of Toronto

As virtual reality (VR) becoming mature, and reasonable priced 360 cameras entering the consumer market; it is possible to visualize a workspace (classroom, meeting room, office etc.) using 360 cameras to record the space, stream through the Internet and view through a VR headset. This project explores this idea and will create a prototype by the end of the semester.
