VikramUnity

Chandrayaan-3 Vikram Rover Lunar Landing VR Simulation

Organization: IIT Mandi

Key Result & Impact Benchmark

Delivered an immersive 60fps mobile VR lunar exploration simulation environment.

Technical Overview

VikramUnity is an interactive virtual reality simulation project developed for the Mobile Virtual Reality & Artificial Intelligence course (CS662) at IIT Mandi under Dr. Varun Dutt. The simulation recreates ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 mission, featuring physics-based thruster descent controls for the Vikram lander and autonomous surface obstacle avoidance algorithms for the Pragyan rover. Built in Unity 3D with C# scripts, the application was optimized for smooth 60fps rendering on mobile VR headsets.

Key Technical Highlights

Simulated lunar gravity, thruster dynamics, and terrain collision physics in Unity 3D.
Programmed autonomous rover pathfinding around simulated lunar craters and boulders.
Earned Grade 'A' in CS662 Mobile Virtual Reality and AI under Dr. Varun Dutt.
