INTRODUCTION
ImagineX is a generative artificial intelligence program and service that can generate virtual 3D spaces for users. Users can create customized 3D environments tailored to their specific needs and preferences simply by inputting words prompts. By connecting the program from a tablet to a virtual reality (VR) system, users can experience and interact with these virtual spaces in an immersive manner.
THE PROBLEM
In numerous regions, the availability and affordability of physical spaces like residences, workplaces, and recreational areas can be constrained. This scarcity of space poses obstacles to individuals in their pursuit of personal interests, engagement in creative endeavors, and seeking solace.
How might we facilitate the creation of personal spaces that afford privacy, comfort, and autonomy to individuals in need?
SOLUTION
An immersive tablet-to-VR program that empowers users to effortlessly construct customized virtual 3D spaces that cater to their unique requirements through the simple input of word prompts.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Step 1:
Close your eyes and envision a picture from your favorite place, dream, or imagination. Take a moment to observe it closely.
Step 2:
Describe to ImagineX in words what you saw when you were observing that picture in your mind.
Step 3:
Select one of the two rooms that ImagineX has generated for you, take a look around.
Step 4:
Put on your VR glasses and indulge in some much-needed self-care and relaxation time.
Step 5:
Save and enjoy the same scene again in the future!
ImagineX aims to provide a flexible and customizable experience, allowing users to shape their virtual spaces according to their preferences and requirements. The combination of generative AI and VR technology enhances the immersion factor, making it possible for users to explore and interact with the virtual environments as if they were physically present within them.
Whether it's designing virtual homes, landscapes, architectural concepts, or imaginative realms, ImagineX offers users a platform to bring their ideas to life in a virtual space. It opens up opportunities for various industries such as architecture, interior design, gaming, education, and more.
PROCESS
Initial Thoughts & Ideation
Ever since my childhood, I've yearned to create a secret hideout space, a place where I could retreat from the world and enjoy solitude. However, my fear to being physically alone has compelled me to always have a roommate, leaving me without the privacy and personal space I long for. Despite these constraints, the desire to spend some free time in a customized personal space of my own has never waned. That's why the idea of constructing a VR system emerged as a viable alternative, allowing me to realize my dream space despite limitations of funds, space, and time.
