VR PDFbrary

Inspiration

I missed the feeling of interacting with a real book, but I love eBooks!

What it does

This app reads a persistent path directory on your headset, sdcard\Android\data\com.JoshuaEslinger.PDFbrary\files\LibraryBooks And creates VR books for you to read out of every PDF inside.

How we built it

This was built using Unity and several free assets from the store.

Challenges we ran into

I had a hard time getting things done because I'm only one man. But I managed to find some free assets to help polish up the experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud that I was able to complete this in time.

What we learned

I learned how to use PDF C# wrappers to render PDFs to textures. I also completely learned VR from scratch.

What's next for VR PDFbrary

I would love to actually complete the environment instead of using this test one. And I would like to implement features like bookmarking, playing music, and setting up a couch in AR.
