It was a very successful MR application for fully dynamic/parametric geometry education. Details are given on <a href="https://www.ims.tuwien.ac.at/projects/construct3d">https://www.ims.tuwien.ac.at/projects/construct3d</a></p>
<p>It was developed in C++ based on the Studierstube framework. Nowadays it does not run on modern hardware.</p>
<p>The task is to develop a new version of Construct3D based on new software and hardware platforms</p>
<p>* Using the Entity-Component-System (in Unity.2019 or Unreal) for easier/efficient programming of Components - dynamic geometric objects and</p>
<p>* Using OpenCascade for 3D modeling operations (Boolean Operations)</p>
<p>With this approach Construct3D could be made available for free for educational purposes without any need for licenses.</p>

This will make a user-centered, personalized, editable gesture interface possible. The student will work with IMU sensor data, IR marker tracking, and Bluetooth communication of the controller. And also current existing deep learning tools to train users' gesture for interaction. It will be a great opportunity for a student because he/she can have a chance to work on DAQRI Smart Glasses and with real industrial application scenarios with real industrial workers.</p>

In non-shared scenarios where player do not see each other (for example, if they are on different floors in a virtual building) there appears a risk of collisions between player. Such dangerous collision situations should be prevented, preferably without the players noticing anything.</p>
<p>The first step of collision prevention is predicting possible future collisions. Such predictions can be made by extrapolating players' paths in a known virtual environment.</p>
<p>The specific task for the Master thesis is to develop a collision prediction algorithm for a constraint maze-like virtual environment. The algorithm can then be tested on pre-recorded paths. The working environment is Unity 3D, although Unreal can also be used if preferred.</p><p><em>Master Thesis / Contact: <a href="https://www.ims.tuwien.ac.at/people/iana-podkosova">I.
