Have you ever before discovered on your own gauging and examining dimensions of a couch, cabinet or chair if it fits in your home before getting? According to our consumers examining measurement is especially tough when acquiring online. Likewise elbow chairs and cabinets never ever look as perfect in your cramped home as they perform in our curated dream-rooms.

With our initial Mobile Hackathon our mobile group intended to locate an easy means to place our furniture in your room by researching in digital truth and increased reality technology.
On January 23 rd we started our hackathon occasion by unboxing an Oculus Break DK 2, several cardboards by google, a Digital Truth Goggle lately released by German lenses supplier Zeiss– the Zeiss Virtual Reality ONE and Sphero– a robotic sphere that can be transferred in any kind of object.
We began to check out the availaible SDK, set up Unity 3 D on our makers and checked out the demonstration and instance tasks before we began in fact coding. Although it was particularly enjoyable driving the robot ball with our Mobile Laboratory and transferring Sphero to a beaver was a great deal of fun we concentrated extra on the other gadgets to find reality use-cases.
Augmented fact is about overlaying a real-time view of the real life with virtual web content. With the Zeiss VR One (left image) we were able to transfer the dice held in our hands to generally everything we desire and can control it on our hands. This is functioning by using the cube as a marker– The ideal photo reveals an app on Android that when held over such a pen shows an Android Mascot. When you touch on a specific location on the pen you are even able to transform the color of the Android Mascot displayed in the application.
During the day we divided in two teams: One working on a 3 D “Dreamroom” where our consumers can walk in and discover our product offering as if they would get in a real store. We designed 3 D objects in Unity 3 D of chairs and put them in our” 3 D-Store”. Yet we additionally tried 3 D scanning innovation to design our “Duke”, the pet dog you can see aware. We located several apps that records 360 views and make a 3 D object out of it. It took us a number of efforts until we found out that a spinning workplace chair with a vacant trash can on it, may not one of the most secure however the very best alternative to obtain a 3 D sight. Ultimately we attained to develop a fully walk-able Virtual Westwing Store.
Our second Hack-Team serviced Enhanced Reality rather and tried to use the marker to ensure that we can show things in the real world. We extracted (= removed the surrounding background) in photoshop of some items we really offer and attempted to predict them in our office. In the image below you can see an example of a tiffany light forecasted on the marker– an excellent possibility for our clients to examine if this light actually would suit their living room– the only point they would need to do is to publish the marker.
