We wanted to work with John Deere Precision Ag APIs, and we also had a Quest 2 virtual reality headset at our disposal. The API provided satellite image layers which we thought could be nicely modeled in a 3D environment.
Our Project models field operation data representing various measurements (Moisture levels, Harvest yield, etc.) in an interactive VR environment.
1: Created an Operations Center account and acquired John Deere sample operational data
2: Used Postman to collect data from several fields by utilizing Deere Precision Ag APIs
3: Created a 3D environment in Unity to overlay heatmaps onto satellite imagery & incorporated interactivity
4: Modeled data in 3D by extruding cubes vertically depending on each pixel color value.
5: Built & ran project on Oculus Quest 2 VR headset
Didn't have access to some APIs for certain requests
Difficulty configuring VR headset to a laptop with a graphics card that meets specifications
Security issues with API authorization
Incorporate real-time API calls into the VR simulation. With the API calls, we could display a dashboard with numerical data describing the field.
