Smart Classroom
Bringing the future of learning into the present, the Smart Classroom located in Qualcomm Institute San Diego is a unique, interactive educational environment built on Unreal Engine 5. This project is a result of advanced AR/VR technology and modern architectural methods, aimed to enhance the digital learning experience. It leveraged BIM (Building Information Modelling) and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to recreate a high-fidelity digital twin of the classroom.

Innovations
Incorporating cutting-edge technologies such as UE5, AR/VR, BIM, LiDAR, and AI, the Smart Classroom sets a new standard for digital learning. It's more than just a virtual learning environment; it's a dynamic, interactive space that fosters collaboration, engagement, and immersive learning. We are currently working on the full body IK tracking only depends on the VR headset by creating our own Recognition system.
