Duplicated Reality

This project contains a minimal working example of Duplicated Reality.

The concept of Duplicated Reality is to show a duplicated real-time representation of the real world in Augmented Reality. A 3D space, defined by a region of interest, can then be moved around and scaled dynamically. Refer to our publication to see how we applied this concept to co-located mixed-reality collaboration.

Real-time Duplication of Point cloud

Dynamic Interactions

Scaling Up and down

Requirements

• Kinect4Azure Camera
• Tested with Unity 2022.3.5f1

Project Setup

Copy .dlls of the Kinect4Azure SDK into the "Assets/Kinect4Azure/Plugins" folder. One source for the SDK can be found here: rfilkov

The final directory containing the Kinect4Azure SDK should contain these dlls:

Running the Example

An example scene is located at "Assets/Example/DuplicatedReality_SampleScene.unity".\
