-              When you prompt a virtual assistant (for example Meta AI on
-              Raybans glasses), what happens when you ask “What am I looking
-              at”? Currently, the pipeline seems rather simplistic. The cameras
-              on the glasses take a picture, that picture is passed through a
-              model that can assign text labels to images, and finally that text
-              label describing the whole image is passed into an LLM. This
-              process, especially the step where a model must describe
-              everything in an image using words, is often inaccurate.
+            <p key="">
+              We are creating a Unity VR application that allows
+              users to explore real-life building scans in true scale using a
+              Meta Quest headset. The application will focus on photogrammetry
+              scans sourced primarily from OpenHeritage3D, providing detailed
+              and accurate models of culturally significant buildings.

-              What if we could build a system that…
-              <br />
-              …provides a richer text summary of a virtual environment, complete
-              with descriptions of how objects compose each other, are placed
-              within/next to/on top of each other?
-              <br />
-              …also describes how you, the user, is interacting with that
-              environment at any moment? Could we assign additional text to
-              describe that you are pointing at a specific object, or reaching
-              out for one?
-              <br />
-              …runs in real time, that is, can constantly update every frame to
-              provide an updated description. That way, we wouldn&apos;t have to
-              wait for text generation, and we could create a live captioning
-              system? …runs entirely on-device, meaning this information is
-              never sent to the cloud?
+            <p key="">
+              The project will involve importing and optimising these 3D scans,
+              integrating VR interaction systems, and ensuring smooth
+              performance on Meta Quest devices. The end goal is to deliver an
+              immersive and realistic virtual experience where users can walk
+              through and interact with real-world buildings as if they were
+              physically present.

-              If we created this, we could use it for…
-              <br />
-              …in-application virtual assistants that make use of a rich text
-              summary for high-accuracy responses
-              <br />
-              …virtual science labs where users could receive detailed
-              auto-generated scientific explanations about tools and objects
-              they interact with
-              <br />
-              …dynamic VR scene descriptions for the visually impaired,
-              describing layout and objects, or even what they&apos;re holding,
-              pointing at or nearby to
-              <br />
-              …and so much more

-              Universal Text aims to explore this. We are creating a structured
-              software package for Unity that allows for real time captioning of
-              a VR user&apos;s interactions with their virtual environment. In
-              other words, tools provided by our package aim to describe in
-              natural language "what&apos;s happening" in a VR application at
-              any moment in time, as if recounted by a third party observer.
-              This textual description will be rich in detail and generated
-              on-the-fly, providing seamless integration of tutorials, live
-              captioning for accessibility, or virtual assistants into VR
-              applications.

+              From the users perspective, they would be able to download the
+              Anima application either on the Meta Quest storefront or through
+              other means, select one of the preloaded scans or import one into
+              the application, and then enter a rendering of the building and be
+              able to view it from multiple different angles through the VR
+              headset. This would include a 360 degree view of the rendered
+              building and the application responding to the orientation of the
+              headset.
