Internship at SportsImproVR

⚾ About SportsImproVR

SportsImproVR is a virtual reality training company specialized in baseball, softball, and tennis.

What it Does: Video-to-FBX converter is a tool which can convert multiple videos (mp4, mov) to an FBX animation all within Unity using MoveAI.

Key Features & Challenges:

MoveAI API Intergration: the tool converts videos using MoveAI’s API by launching a custom-made Python script in Unity.
Clear user interface: the tool provides an easy-to-use UI for a frictionless workflow.
Parallel Conversion: the tool uses Unity’s tasks system to run multiple conversions at the same time.
User feedback per task: each task provides clear feedback on the job’s status and progress.
Runs in the background: the tool runs in the background and doesn’t disturb regular editor workflows.

Impact on the Company:

Simplified the workflow for the senior programmer from a three-step operation (uploading videos to MoveAI, downloading the FBX, importing to Unity) into a one-click operation all within Unity, saving a lot of time.
Improved user feedback by providing clear status and progress per video within Unity, giving reassurance and understanding to the user.
Allowed for multiple video conversions in parallel, turning from a 15-minute consequitive conversion for 3 videos into a 5-minute parallel conversion for 3 videos (and more).
