This project presents a Cross Reality (XR) application that combines Mixed Reality (MR) and Virtual Reality (VR) for simulating lighting in real-time. Users can design and visualize lighting by placing objects and light sources in an MR environment and viewing the effects in a virtual replica of the same space. The system uses automated room scanning and dynamic lighting, offering a tool that can be used for interior design and planning illumination of buildings. A user study highlighted its potential while suggesting improvements to the interface and functionality.

Support for development varies between operating systems. Windows is fully supported by Meta, being the only one with a simulator. Mac appears to only lack the simulator. Linux is not supported at all, lacking native binaries for things such as MRUK (room scan)
This repo uses a git submodule. Initialize/Update it with git submodule update --init --recursive
