VR Hackathon 2022 - web3

I was approached by a person that I know from a Cohort (Vision Health Pioneers Incubator) that I was part of in 2021, he wanted me to help them setup a VR version of a web based application that was already created by them. With the VR application he wanted me to setup a 3D space where the users can navigate in the space, interact with objects and access various events that are created and stored in the backend application and would like to view the NFT's that are available for bidding across events. Our team was named ForGreen and we won the second prize in this hackation for the Stablecoins + DAO category (timestamp 20:55)

Images from the VR application

Tools & Softwares Used

Team Information

  • Rahul - Prototype development using Unity Engine and testing the application on Oculus Quest 2.

Project Description

This prototype was created iteratively over a span of multiple days and weeks, it was used in multiple hackathons that I participated along with them. My sole duty was to create the VR application and adapt the changes that were done in the backend system (another team with expertise in Blockchain) to establish the communication between the same and VR application.



As you can see from the above video the user has the option to select between multiple events that are configured in the backend, an api request is sent to the server which forwards back the list of events. The data dump is processed/translated by the application and the information is presented on the screen. The NFT's, images are downloaed into the application based on the URL information I recevie from the server are available for bidding and is displayed in the main area of the 3D space. You have the option to select the one that you would like to place your bid on and then enter the bid details and confirm the same. Upon receiving the confirmation the backend is updated with the changed information.
