Our final project, ‘VertiClean’, is a virtual reality (VR)-based system developed by “Unity” VR, to help individuals overcome ‘acrophobia’ (fear of heights). Our system gradually exposes users to increasing heights through interactive window-cleaning tasks on a virtual building, simulating real-life challenges in a controlled and safe environment. The game combines immersive environmental effects - like wind, city noise, and height perspective - with real-time feedback and user progression tracking. The system provides a highly interactive, personalized, and task-focused experience that enhances the user’s sense of control and reduces anxiety over time.

Our project replaces the requirement for soldiers to manually sign for their equipment with a digital management system, featuring modules for equipment tracking, mission management, and history logging. Its client-server architecture enables real-time data updates and secure access. The new AI- based feature allows natural language queries, making it easier for users to find equipment and mission data. This system interprets user input and converts it into back-end commands, streamlining operation without needing complex navigation. Future AI enhancements may include anomaly detection and inventory forecasting.
