NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS OF MOTION TRACKING IN VIRTUAL REALITY SYSTEMS

Shubhavi Arya

Abstract


 This article is centered around the sort of virtual reality (VR) – MoCap – motion capture. VR is utilized as a part of the planning and design procedure of the working environment. Firstly, the work environment is designed and before actual building the various conditions are simulated. Product of this simulation by VR is the working environment/ building. VR is utilized too in the medical treatments. This paper investigates a way to deal with physical rehabilitation using best in class advances in virtual reality and motion tracking. As of present, there has been a boom in the utilization of the Kalman channel in Virtual/ Augmented Reality. This paper presents a brief introduction to the Kalman filter and the development of the utilization of the filter in VR motion tracking.
