Software Requirement Specification for Virtual Tour

1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to describe the use of Virtual Reality technology to create a product
that enables users to engage and engross themselves into a virtual environment of Taarey Bhir,
CCCT Campus, which is to be experienced with a VR HMD (Head Mounted Display).

1.2 SCOPE

A Virtual Tour is a collection of 360-degree panoramic rotating images, “stitched” together to form a
full, 360° view of a location.  Special cameras, lenses, technology, and methods are used to bring a
tour together into a visual experience for the viewer.

A virtual tour package consists of several high-resolution photographs, called “spins”, brought
together in a complete tour package. This high-quality user experience shows multiple locations
throughout a site, switching views via thumbnails.  The user has full control over what they want to
look at and can zoom in or out to enhance the scene they’re viewing.

In addition, descriptive text, hotspots that transport the viewer from one place to another or simply
provides more information, videos, and sound can also be included in a virtual tour package.

Virtual tours are getting acknowledged day by day with the ever-rising growth of technology.

A virtual tour can be used marketing tool that can help bring new customers and clients to a business.
It’s also a “virtual reality” view of a business relayed in visual images that allow the viewer to be
engrossed and make the user feel like he/she is at the location.  It’s the best way to accurately show
what your location really looks like. A tour is also a convenient sales tool that can be used to
illustrate a business in a way still photography cannot.

The scope of the project is as follows:

 To build a 3D environment of Taarey Bhir, CCCT Campus.

 To create a 3D object with motion inside the static 3D environment.
 To provide a brief knowledge about Taarey Bhir, CCCT Campus like altitude, geolocation
and district name.

1.3 Working Of VR HMD

FIG 1: LABEL DIAGRAM OF A VR HMD

VR headsets use either two feeds sent to one display or two displays, one per eye. There are also
lenses which are placed between your eyes and the pixels, which is why the devices are often called
goggles. In some instances, these can be adjusted to match the distance between your eyes, varying
from person to person.

These lenses focus and reshape the picture for each eye and create a stereoscopic 3D image by
angling the two 2D images to mimic how each of our two eyes views the world ever-so-slightly
differently. Try closing one eye then the other to see individual objects dance about from side to side
and you get the idea behind this.

1.5 OVERVIEW

This project deals with the use of Virtual Reality technology. The users can be able to get the
information of that place with 360° images along with details like (Geolocation, District, Altitude
etc.) It is a basic interface and is affordable and cost efficient so, everyone can purchase this product
and step into the world of Virtual Reality’s technological advancements.

2.OVERALL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Product Perspective: -
VR Tour is a virtual reality simulation project that has the purpose of developing and simulating a
virtual environment replica of a real-world environment.

The product has two characteristics which are simulation of a real-world venue into a virtual one and
the other one is to add an object into the environment that displays an interactive behaviour.

2.1.1 Development Methodology: -

For developing this project, we are following the prototype model with which, we will collect the
requirements from the user and prepare a prototype (sample), and get it reviewed and approved by
the user, and only when they satisfied, we will start working on the original project so that there
won't be any user rejection.

We also use a game engine called Unity. Unity is a 3D/2D game engine and powerful cross-platform
IDE for developers. As a game engine, Unity is able to provide many of the most important built-in
features that make a game work. That means things like physics, 3D rendering, and collision
detection. From a developer’s perspective, this means that there is no need to reinvent the wheel.
Rather than starting a new project by creating a new physics engine from scratch–calculating every
last movement of each material, or the way light should bounce off of different surfaces.

We chose to work in Unity as we are building an android based product and Unity has many
options/packages like Android build support, VR Support which eases the workflow by taking most
of the backend out of the picture for the developers.

3.3 Safety Requirement

Since this project deals with a stationary head mounted display there is no required perimeter radius
in order to avoid collisions. This ensures that there is no collision of the user with any obstacles
therefore ensuring no injury to the user and no damage to the VR gear. Using VR for a long period of
time and brain-body conflict might cause nausea and dizziness on the user. Brain-body conflict can
be caused in simulation by changing position or rotation of the user in the simulation while the user
stands still in real life.
