Abstract
This paper presents a prototype for virtual reality operating system (VR OS) concept with head mount display (HMD) and hand gesture recognition technology based on game engine (Unity3D). We have designed and implemented simple multitasking thread mechanism constructed on the realtime environment provided by Unity3D game engine. Our virtual reality operating system receives user input from the hand gesture recognition device (Leap Motion) to simulate mouse and keyboard and provides output via head mount display (Oculus Rift DK2). As a result, our system provides users with more broad and immersive work environment by implementing 360 degree work space.
