We present an approach based on a natural user interface and virtual reality that allows the user’s body to be visualized and tracked inside a virtual environment. Our aim is to improve the sensation of virtual reality immersion through low-cost technology such as HTC Vive and Microsoft Kinect 2. The system has been developed using the Unity 3D game engine and C# language. Our approach has been validated through the implementation of an application for 3D mesh painting where the user is able to interact through hand gestures to select a color from the 3D color palette, rotate the 3D mesh and paint it.

Abstract

We present an approach based on a natural user interface and virtual reality that allows the user’s body to be visualized and tracked inside a virtual environment. Our aim is to improve the sensation of virtual reality immersion through low-cost technology such as HTC Vive and Microsoft Kinect 2. The system has been developed using the Unity 3D game engine and C# language. Our approach has been validated through the implementation of an application for 3D mesh painting where the user is able to interact through hand gestures to select a color from the 3D color palette, rotate the 3D mesh and paint it.
