NowYouSeeMe: Real-Time 6DOF Holodeck Environment

A robust, real-time 6DOF, photo-realistic "holodeck" environment using commodity laptop camera and Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) as primary sensors, supplemented by GPU-accelerated neural enhancements.

🚀 Quick Start • 📖 Documentation • 🤝 Contributing • 📋 Requirements • 🎮 Features

🎯 Project Objectives

• End-to-end spatial mapping and dynamic object tracking at interactive frame rates (<20 ms latency)
• RF-vision fusion to cover areas with low visibility or occlusions
• Extensible codebase split between rapid Python prototyping and optimized C++/CUDA modules
• Advanced electromagnetic field manipulation for free space visualization and content generation
