This project started with the idea of implementing 'Alexa' type voice commands within Unity3D to control objects in virtual reality.  After looking at Wit.ai and API.ai SDK's, I ended up using Unity's new integrated natural language processor and a few simple C# scripts. The video above is a screen capture from the HTC Vive, which has a front facing microphone that picks up commands quite well.  

I made the beach house scene as a relaxing place to be in virtual reality which allowed me to expand on previous experiments of incorporating UV sprite animation within static textures.  The rhythm of the waves create a relaxing, yet dynamic enviroment and a sense of realism hard to achieve with CG alone. I plan to expand on this idea in the future, stay tuned.
