About The Project

Unreal Home is a simulation platform designed to carry out the generation of photorealistic synthetic datasets of human daily basis interactions in virtual environments.

It was developed in collaboration with the 3D Perception Lab (3DPL) group from the Department of Information Technology and Computing (DTIC) of the University of Alicante.

This software is composed of two types of actors (Avatars and Objects), which are directly involved in the execution of the simulations, and a total of three components or subsystems responsible for carrying out all the necessary threads that ensure the correct behavior of UnrealHome’s internal logic.

These threads include the playback and interpolation of animations managed by the animation subsystem, the movement of the avatars through the scene carried out by the navigation and pathfinding subsystem, and the grabs of objects made by the avatars which are managed by the grip subsystem.

Finally, this project has also sought to ensure that the generation of visual synthetic datasets becomes more interactive and intuitive. Therefore, UnrealHome makes it possible to use Point and Click mechanics in real time during the simulations with the aim of sending instructions to the avatars of the scene so that they carry out new interactions defined by said instructions.
