Abstract:
We present a marker-based VR system that simulates real-time water surface flow by tracking ArUco markers on physical water. The system generates FlowMaps from tracked motion to drive fluid effects in Unity. A circular pool with water-jet units enables controllable flow, enabling sensor-driven, immersive fluid simulation.
