Background and team

Project background

UCL Peach Reality is an interdisciplinary project that involves using virtual and augmented reality to aid medical workers in their daily tasks. Projects involved working with various VR/AR headsets, such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Microsoft HoleLens.

The first iteration of UCL Peach Reality project was conducted by MSc students from UCL whose primary focus was data visualisation in 3D space, including studying 3D models of organs and analysis of data produced by various departments of University College Hospital. Students working on the project in Summer 2016 made great progress on developing an application for interactions with objects in 3D space using various equipment bundled with the headset.

Since our (team of 2016/2017) project focuses solely on HoloLens, we decided to not reuse most of the source code produced in the previous iteration but rather produce our own implementation refining and improving the ideas of previous developers. You can find more information about the development process in other sections of this website.
