The simulation, the chatbot, and their deployment online are all part of this project. (Note: this repo contains the client-side section only)\n\nThe simulation has custom 3D assets, a chat dialog box, motion controls and game logic. The chatbot has a custom ML NLP model that has a seq2seq architecture and was trained on CVDN dataset. The client-host loads the simulation and mediates its interactions with the API server. The API server authenticates the request and runs the ML NLP model.\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/FrederickRoman/navlead/blob/main/public/img/sys_arch_diagram.svg\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Navlead system architecture diagram\"/\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n### Motivation\n\nInspired by the rise of VR and AI, this project aims to combine both into a navigation assistance system that can run through the browser.\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex; justify-content:space-evenly; align-items:center;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/FrederickRoman/navlead/blob/main/docs/v_1_3/img/question_sample.png\" width=\"20%\" alt=\"Navlead questin sample\"/\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/FrederickRoman/navlead/blob/main/public/img/target_popup_bed.png\" width=\"20%\" alt=\"Navlead target sample\"/\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/FrederickRoman/navlead/blob/main/docs/v_1_3/img/location_sample.png\" width=\"10%\" alt=\"Navlead location sample\"/\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/FrederickRoman/navlead/blob/main/public/img/navleadnet_main_diagram.svg\" width=\"50%\" alt=\"NavleadNet main diagram\"/\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/FrederickRoman/navlead/blob/main/docs/v_1_3/img/answer_sample.png\" width=\"50%\" alt=\"Navlead answer sample\"/\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n## Tech stack of Navlead\n\n- Client-side \n    - Simulation\n        - Blender (3.1)\n        - Unity (2020.3 LTS)\n    - UI\n        - React (Next ts)\n- Server-side (\u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c/strong\u003e on this repo)\n    - API server\n        - Django\n    - ML service\n        - Pytorch\n\n## In-depth explanation\n\nFor an in-depth explanation of this project, please, see [Navlead's About page](https://navlead.vercel.app/about)\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/FrederickRoman/navlead/blob/main/public/img/about_img_quilt_md.png\" width=\"50%\" alt=\"Navlead's about page image quilt\"/\u003e\n\n- [TLDR;](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_tldr)\n- [Motivation](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_motivation)\n- [3D simulation](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_simulation-3d-modeling)\n    - [Modeling 3D enviroment in Blender](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_modeling-3d-enviroment)\n    - [Adding game controls in Unity](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_adding-game-controls)\n    - [Bridging simulation to browser (Unity-side)](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_sim-to-browser-js)\n- [Client-side integration](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_client-side)\n    - [Loading Unity Script](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_loading-unity-script)\n    - [Bridging simulation to browser (browser-side)](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_sim-to-browser-js)\n    - [Answer simulation question](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_answer-sim-question)\n- [Server-side API](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_server-side)\n    - [Request handling](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_req-handling)\n- [Machine Learning](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_machine-learning)\n    - [Data](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_ml-data)\n    - [Training](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_ml-training)\n    - [Results](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_ml-results)\n- [References](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_references)\n- [Authors](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_authors)\n    - [Frederick Roman](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_author-frederick-roman)\n    - [Homero Roman](https://navlead.vercel.app/about#about_author-homero-roman)\n\n## Live website\n\nSee [Navlead](https://navlead.vercel.app).\n\n## Project setup\n\n```\nnpm install\n```\n\n### Compiles and hot-reloads\n\n```\nnpm run dev\n```\n\n### Compiles and minifies for production\n\n```\nnpm run build\n```\n\n### Lints and fixes files\n\n```\nnpm run lint\n```\n\n## Acknowledgements\n### Vision-and-Dialog Navigation\n    https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.04957\n    https://github.com/mmurray/cvdn\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffrederickroman%2Fnavlead","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffrederickroman%2Fnavlead","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffrederickroman%2Fnavlead/lists"}
