Streaming Space

The Streaming Space was created as a proof of concept to allowing VR users to stream content natively from inside their VR environment to the outside world.

Key Features

Camera Streaming

Stream from an additional camera set up inside your VR scene, allowing users to view your avatar.

Interactive Objects

Unlike avatar filters that are 2D, streaming from 3D environment allows you to interact with objects in the scene.

Custom Cameras & Lighting

Having a full 3D scene allows easier and cheaper customisation of the space for camera postions and lighting.

Process and Development

Step 1: Concept and Planning

Taking the idea of a virtual camera and gathered sources to understand how it could be done.

Step 2: Design and Prototyping

Developed a prototype to demonstrate the virtual camera, and how it could be used to stream VR environment to the real world.

Step 3: Development

Utilised Unity to build the VR experience, focusing on camera streaminig, interactive objects, and user interface.

Step 4: Testing and Iteration

Tested with a couple of users, implementing feedback for better user experience in the application.

Step 5: Final Delivery

Delivered a workable VR Streaming Space experience that meets the requirements to demonstrate how a streaming space could be a viable solution.

Challenges and Solutions

Challenge: Working Streaming Camera

Solution: Discovered a way to have the virtual camera feed come out seperatly to the player camera feed.

Challenge: Establishing Camera & Lighting Setup Correctly

Solution: Working with videographers and photgraphers to udnerstand best lighting and camera positons for streaming.

Results and Impact

Industry Recognition

The Streaming Space attracted attention from QLD XR Hub, leading to a shout out in their newsletter.

Interactive Features

Users frequently utilised interactive objects, suggesting that the 3D environment significantly enhances the user experience compared to traditional 2D streaming.

Pushing Boundries

The Streaming Space revolutionises the way users share their VR experiences, showing people not too exposed to the technology what is capable in a VR Environment.
