Aardvark is a framework for building augmented reality "gadgets" that run on top of virtual reality experiences. Gadgets are constructed using a bunch of custom React components (from the @aardvarkxr/aardvark-react package) and run in the Aardvark application. Gadgets use these components to show interactive models, 2D UI, or other stuff that will draw on top of any VR applications you run.

The main feature of ApertusVR is the so called "Distributed Plugin-in Mechanism" which means that not only humans could be involved in a multi-user virtual reality scene but any element of the Internet of Things like hardware, software, robot or any kind of smart device. ApertusCore is a programming library written in C++11, that fulfills modern software requirements as it is modular, embeddable, platform-independent, and easily configurable. It contains basic software interfaces and modules for logging, event-handling, and for loading plugins and configurations. ...

Mid air gestures are generally considered the interface of the future in a wide number of application fields and for virtual and augmented reality applications. However, designing effective interfaces with mid-air gestures, is not an easy task because it is application dependent and must fulfill many requirements at the same time. Despite the availability of general design guidelines in the literature, clear and well-established procedures for the optimal design of mid-air gesture-based interfaces are, to date, not available and still remain an open issue. ...

...All interface interactions utilize a simple and consistent mechanism, the "hover", which users can perform with any 3D input device. These interfaces are designed specifically for VR/AR applications, addressing the complex UX challenges of these immersive environments. Virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) applications must provide ways for users to interact -- to select items, to move them, to modify them, to trigger actions, to control their virtual world. The user experience (UX) can become increasingly complex as new features are introduced, leading to a long list of application-specific interactions that can conflict with each other and can be difficult for users to learn. ...

This project aims to develop an interaction framework based on body detection by webcams, identifying the skeleton shape (hands, arms, head, legs etc), for games, virtual reality, augmented reality and other applications.
