Overview

The Rift is a portal that lets you peer into a parallel 3D world themed around the Agartha civilization. As you move, your face is tracked in real time and the rendered world shifts in response, similar to the same way a real window would change perspective if you leaned to one side.

Challenge

Looking into another world.

Solution

By using parallax. I tracked the viewer's face in real time using YuNet (running through ONNX runtime) and mapped that position to the virtual camera inside Unreal, so when you move, the world shifts the way it would if you were looking through a hole in a wall.
