Immersive Navigation in XR

This project explores new ways to navigate XR environments. The focus is on creating a simple and intuitive user experience. This includes a voice-controlled assistant based on OpenAI's ChatGPT API, which can flexibly answer questions about the environment and help users move seamlessly through virtual space. The project was developed as part of an independent study at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, supported by Prof. Reto Wettach through regular consultations. This approach gave room for creativity while ensuring it met academic standards. The goal is to advance XR interactions and make immersive technologies more accessible.
