AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BASED VIRTUAL REALITY KIOSK

Abstract

The present invention discloses an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Virtual Reality (VR) kiosk (100). The kiosk (100) includes an enclosure (102), a work space defined in front of the enclosure (102), a head mounted display (112) connected to the enclosure (102), a hand controller (124) connected to the enclosure (102), and a touchscreen (128) disposed at the front of the enclosure (102). The kiosk (100) further includes a microcontroller configured with AI-driven analytics and predictive algorithms. The kiosk (100) further includes a sensor and an infrared camera in communication with the microcontroller. In the kiosk (100), the work space is defined by a top wall (104), a floor (106) and two side walls (108) extending from the enclosure (102) towards the front of the enclosure (102). Further, the sensor is configured to detect the height of the user, and the infrared camera is configured to capture the user’s behaviour.
