About SFEAM Android App

*NOTE: In order to proceed the user MUST have Leap Motion device connected with an android phone.

Right now, we interact with computers in a very unnatural 2D way. With our software you can really apply your intuition and take something from your mind to a physical object model with far greater ease than we do currently. Being present in a virtual reality and interacting with realistic 3D car models using hand gestures will redefine the way people used to explore automobile models present in their mobiles forever.

Required: Gamepad & Leapmotion Controller
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Basic Work Flow:
- Download and install Unity: https://unity3d.com/get-unity.
- Import all the packages provided by SFEAM.
o Select the Unity Assets > Import Package > Custom Package menu command.
o Find the SFEAM package and import it.
o The assets are imported into your project.
- Afterward import your preferred 3D car models.
o The recommended 3D car model extension is .FBX and .3DS. Otherwise, the models will lose their rendering and must be done again in UNITY.
- For every importation of models you must attach our script of Rotation / Spin, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Circle, Swipe, Pinch and Tap.
- To make interaction with the 3D models you must attach our script of Open Doors, Open Trunk, and Open Hood.

ABSTRACT

Right now, we interact with computers in a very unnatural 2D way. With our software you can really apply your intuition and take something from your mind to a physical object model with far greater ease than we do currently. Being present in a virtual reality and interacting with realistic 3D car models using hand gestures will redefine the way people used to explore automobile models present in their computers forever. There have been many showroom apps that demonstrate model of a car and let you interact with it but the interaction has never been natural. The user has to be specifically guided e.g which button to press to open door and zoom in etc. Also the visualization used to be very 2D, a large picture shown on a flat screen. To make everything more natural we use virtual reality where you can interact with actual 3D models and use hand gestures that naturally comes to your mind for interacting.
We use 3D motion control technology i.e. Leap motion to explore 3D automobile models. This allows using hand gestures that comes naturally when interacting with real life objects. Google Cardboard is used to project the models in virtual reality and make the interaction with them more natural. Consequently, this makes the visualization of complex models very realistic.
