Statement
HKU Metaverse is a virtual online learning platform created by the University of Hong Kong, allowing teachers and students to create their own virtual avatars and engage in communication, interaction, learning, and virtual activities within the Metaverse. Additionally, students can use this platform to access virtual courses, including applications such as the VR Ward Series and VR Crime Scene that I have developed. HKU Metaverse aims to support a wide range of platforms, including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Oculus Quest. The Windows platform, in particular, allows seamless switching between VR and desktop screens using Oculus Link. HKU staff and students can login directly using their Portal accounts without the need for additional account registration.
Currently, HKU Metaverse is still in the development phase. Completed development aspects include the avatar system, multiplayer system, VR switching, localization support, multi-platform compatibility, interface foundation, settings system, text and voice communication, cloud data system, room system, room customization system, backpack system, built-in browser, and more. Features like virtual lectures, virtual exhibitions, facial expression system, friends systems, face recognition, OpenID, and others are planned for the 3rd development phase.
In this project, I was responsible for all aspects except 3D modeling, including concept design, project management, system design, programming, lighting, and quality management. Technologies and services used in HKU Metaverse include, but are not limited to, Photon Engine, Ready Player Me, Hybrid Database, Final IK, VRM, Lip-Sync and others.
