Visualizing and Interacting with Paths In Configuration Spaces

Research Project Poster

Purpose

The goals of this project are:

  1. To create an environment in which paths in configuration spaces of R^3 can be visualized and interacted with.
  2. To visualize the Vietoris-Rips and Cech simplicial complex constructions from elements of Conf_n(R^3).
  3. To visualize how such paths produce persistent homology modules.

Installation instructions

Many issues can be resolved by saving the project and restarting Unity after every step.

  1. Prerequisites: Unity 2018.2, Oculus Rift and Touch controllers.
  2. Create a new project in Unity with a 3D Template.
  3. Set up the project in Unity:
    1. Check the box: Edit -> Project Settings -> Player -> XR Settings -> Virtual Reality Supported
    2. Install "Oculus Integration" package from the Asset Store.
  4. Clone this repository into the folder "Assets".
  5. Set up the scene in Unity:
    1. Drag the scene Assets/vipics/Scenes/ConfigurationSpace from the "Project" tab into the "Hierarchy" tab.
    2. Left-click on "Sample Scene" and click "Remove Scene".
  6. Click "Play".

The scene ConfigurationSpace uses the default AvatarGrab scene found in Assets/Oculus/SampleFramework/Usage/ .
