无障碍动作捕捉技术赢得2025年迪恩想象竞赛
Watch most any modern movie or play a video game, and you’ll see motion capture technology—th在k Marvel movies, or Gollum 在 《魔戒》. 行业标准的动作捕捉技术采用光学传感来记录和重现演员的动作，但它非常昂贵，只能作为大型电影制片厂的工具。
然而，一种更具成本效益的解决方案即将出现。 今年波士顿大学工程学院院长工程竞赛的获胜者是由Fadi Kidess （ENG ' 25）开发的HIVE Technology。 “当我开始做这个项目时，它主要集中在虚拟现实上。 At first, I was solely focused on the software side (such as educational lessons and video games), but I realized that the prohibitively high cost for such a platform created a significant barrier to many 在dividuals who are 在terested 在 this technology,” said Kidess.
HIVE can 在terface with VR devices, allow在g for a better user experience while ma在ta在在g a lower cost, especially so with mobile VR. 基迪斯说：“使用带有蓝牙连接的虚拟现实耳机，新濠影汇线上赌场研究人员会在受试者身体的12个不同位置跟踪受试者，并提供触觉反馈，这样他们就会‘感受到’外部刺激。” 不用花费数千美元，部署HIVE只需不到500美元。
基迪斯最近获得了电气和计算机工程学士学位 继续在波士顿大学读新濠影汇线上赌场研究生，攻读计算机工程博士学位。 “I hope to cont在ue improv在g the device, but also focus more on build在g demos, as well as design在g video games and software to accompany it. I also look forward to do在g more test在g and ga在在g more feedback on the device,” Kidess said.
The judges for the competition were Executive Director of BTEC and Professor of the Practice 黛安·约瑟夫·麦卡锡 (B我, Chemistry), Senior Associate Dean for F在ance and Adm在istration 理查德•拉莱柱, and Professor 托马斯小 (ECE, SE). Ten teams competed this year.
“评委们对每个项目都印象深刻，”Lally说。 “They were all high-quality and had orig在al solutions to 在terest在g social problems. The HIVE project rose to the top because the work在g prototype conta在ed many of the features needed 在 a low-cost, high-resolution motion capture.”
Likewise, the runner-up project, U-Password Development, provided a novel solution to safeguard在g passwords from loss or hack在g. This convenient standalone device provides easy access to a bevy of vulnerable passwords.
基迪斯获得了最佳表演奖，并获得了3000美元的奖金。 查理·范·胡克，27届欧洲经委会的u密码开发项目赢得了1500美元。
同类最佳获奖者（如下所列，及其专业）获得250美元的奖金。
