  Trading in virtual reality

Inspiration

My father started learning to trade in COVID-19 with his laptop. after a few weeks, he bought a new monitor and used an old TV as an extension to his laptop for better multiple-tasking and visualization/analysis. In the next 2 years, he started upgrading his work setup according to his needs and comfort, and now he has 6+ monitors working stations in a room.

Imagining trading in mixed-reality headsets like Pico 4 blows my mind without occupying any space in the room, a trader can have a customizable workstation with any number of monitors. a trader can customize his whole room/house into a trading hub. this is a very cost-efficient and scalable way. I think this is how the future of trading is going to be.

What it does

Search Stocks one can search and find stocks with ease using their voice or our well-designed hand menu, to summon multiple stocks. use a table or monitor to have comprehensive details of stocks.

Work station Trading XR allows you to have multiple screens that live in your space, with customizable screen sizes and curves. it provides a complete flexibility of trading whichever you want.

widgets widgets are 3D models like a clock, or poster of stocks with live data, trading portfolios, weather, etc. Put them in his room and customize your workstation as you like with the help of widgets.

AI Bot This AI bot helps traders to do quick calculations and fetch trained data just by having conversion. This AI is built upon chat GPT,

How we built it

We used Pico interaction SDK and sense pack with Unity Engine. to achieve major features of this application with the help of other plugins such as the Vuplex browser, we can run our web browser in virtual and mixed reality space.

Challenges we ran into

I wish I had more time. Working with on new SDK documentation/resources. while prototyping holograms in shapes XR are coming inverted, Integrating web view in VR gave exceptions. time went on resolving it. User exhaustion using hands for long hours. hand menu not spawning. Usability issue using existing trading website sites in VR.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

special anchors. passthrough. mixed reality (Space calibration) integration. webview integration. and controller interactions.

What we learned

Understood the possibilities and limitations of the software and hardware for virtual reality. the usage of pico interaction SDK with sense pack.

we have learned to use Shapes XR for prototyping this project, in the app tutorial on how to use tools in Shapes XR and import 3d models. made it easy Integrating special anchor for adding 3D models anywhere in the remove and persist it there for next time use.

Room capture to get more understanding of the space the user is in, and let the 3D model act according to the physics in the room. we have learned multiple things by experimenting, what tampers user experience, in terms of user exhaustion of using hands, user interaction and user usability.

What's next for Trading XR

Custom UI screen for virtual reality the existing web trading platforms can't be used in virtual reality. They are glitchy, have less assessability for VR use and are unresponsive to dynamic screen sizes.

Hardware integration for usability research using hands in the air for long hours to interact with 3D models is exhausting for the user, and integrating a semi-keyboard and mouse into a VR headset for less user momentum.

Minimal Hand gestures use hand gestures to make less use of hands in the air. where users can place their hands on the table and make small gestures to interact with the application.

Added more widgets There are always new and better ways to improve user experience, updating our widget library with more tools and adding updates to existing widgets.

other Adding mixed reality multi-player for shared workspace. bug fixes and improvements. depends on the user's feedback.
