This virtual reality project focuses on three paintings by Surrealist painter René Magritte, bringing them to life and allowing the viewer to step into their world.

The viewer in the scene

A mesh of part of the viewer was captured using a single-depth camera. The camera data is aligned with the virtual world through the synchronization system that was developed. Most of the viewer's image was captured with three-depth cameras.

Since the camera projection aligns with the grid, I can determine all the triangles that can be formed. I calculated the positions using the depth data and combined any triangles with sides shorter than 2 cm. 

Following that, any point outside the character box (determined based on the headset position) is disregarded.
