overview

training students and professionals on solar module installation is a very demanding task.
this is due to the considerable safety concerns involved in bringing people on an actual roof.
for this reason, in collaboration with dr. cooley from the renewable energy department at santa monica college, i developed solarvr.
solarvr allows for training on solar module installation on a roof, while leveraging the safety and immersion of vr.

to bring this project to life, i fully developed the software side of the project from scratch using unity and c#.
i implemented all the various tool interactions in the vr environment, ensuring a realistic and practical training experience for users.
this allows users to familiarize themselves with the necessary tools and procedures before performing the task in the real world.

to effectively track the user's progress throughout the training, i also developed a step system in unity.
this feature allows users to follow a structured learning path, ensuring they master each aspect of solar module installation before moving on to the next step.
