VR-based welding training system

One of the first project in Unity, made with a lot of love and passion

Features

Made by a team of 3 people in 2012, when Oculus DK1 has not been release yet
Magnetic fields based tracking system
Custom designed welding-base that supports flat, vertical, and horizontal orientation of the welding seam

Custom wrapper for Unity

Due to subtle type of movement during welding precise tracking system was crucial for the training system. At that time we chose Polhemus Patrior Magnetic tracking system. One of my task was to marry the dlls from the tracking system with Unity. I managed to write the wrapper for Unity and even sold it several times on the Unity Forum.
