Pixel eXtraction via Location tracking (PXL)
Enhance your Mixed Reality (MR) capabilities with PXL, the open-source code that tracks hand movements, maps temperatures to virtual images, and displays precise touch-point data for advanced visualization and remote sensing.
The PXL open-source code enhances Mixed Reality (MR) experiences by loading and displaying images in a virtual scene, tracking the user's hand to detect touch points, and extracting data specific to the touched regions. It fetches images from a URL, scales them for the virtual environment, and maps each pixel to a temperature reading. When the user touches the image, the corresponding temperature value is displayed. Ideal for visualization scientists and system users in process monitoring and asset operations, this software allows for remote sensing of system components using XR platforms. Unlike traditional systems relying on physical thermal sensors, this solution projects images into a virtual scene, transforming them into responsive interfaces for precise interactions.
This software is open source and available at no cost. The software can be accessed via INL's GitHub repository: https://github.com/IdahoLabUnsupported/PXL
