The main feature of the Nintendo Wii is to enable users to interact with video games via a wireless controller based on acceleration sensors that can detect the orientation and movement in space . It is this technology, complex and expensive that the success of sales of the console, which now is around 30 million units sold. This raises the idea of \u200b\u200bfinding a low-cost solution to propose such a monitoring system on the PC. Why not use the webcam instead of the wiimote? A seemingly absurd question, but found practical response by a group of boys, in a software called CamSpace.
Essentially, any object x CamSpace we manage our favorite applications. The operating principle is based on the recognition of objects in shades of color in contrast with the surrounding environment. Be tracked (recognition) of the object image captured by the camera, with a algorithm should be able to follow the movement in three dimensional space (x, y and z), noting any trslazione or rotation very accurately. And the best part is that the software is compatible with any camera, even the cheapest. The software is already equipped with a series of games created specially by the community to the official site, but with a minimum of patience we can create ad hoc profiles of operation for any game. Try it out yourself! Most skeptics will then put his finger on following our step by step advice on how to create, configure and use a virtual controller to drive the cars of NEED FOR SPEED PRO STREET !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
AS DO?
's click on the installation file of CamSpace and screen for the license select agree. Tick \u200b\u200ball the items in the list of components to install and continue until the installation is complete, rispomdendo in the affirmative to any warnings that may appear. After the installation will, make sure you have the camera mounted in the center of the screen and that it works perfectly. Let's go to START / All Programs / CamSpace / MY GAMES CamSpace inside the folder and choose the file SOCCER_164.CAMSPACE. Let's take two objects (for example, two markers) in a different color and in contrast with the background color (our shirt or the walls of the room) the lens and show it when you see the message PLEASE SHOW THE OBJECT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, trying to frame them within the indicators PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2. We await the confirmation message: Successfully OBJECT DETECTED. The recognized objects are drawn on the screen and aala their original image is superimposed on that of two strips of different colors. In the window of the game we will bounce a virtual ball to strike and send the ball into the net move the markers, but not out of range of the camera. To use
CamSpace with a driving game, we must realize that we will use the steering wheel in front of the webcam. Disegnamone one at will, utilizing any flyer x pc, ps2, xbox etc etc. (Remember what i said earlier about colors). Make sure you have installed the game we want to use with CamSpace, in our case, NEED FOR SPEED. Then we start CamSpace: inside the main program window click with right mouse button and from the context menu that appears choose DEVELOPER TOOLS / CREATE NEW / EXTERNAL CONTROLLER FOR GAME. We give a name to the controller and click Save. When CamSpace requires the tracking of the object, we show the steering wheel to the camera, setting it in the indicator flashes the element of contrast at the center of the sheet. Specify path to the 'exe of the game (in the folder where we installed the PC game). Back to menu Developer TOOLS and this time choose the voice EDIT CONTROLLER. Within the screen viewing experience that appears type in the word wheel to a number of field tracked objects. In INPUT DEVICES EMULATION leave the check mark only the item and click the button joystick emulation JOYSTICK SETTING. Creamed in all settings and select X Axis drop-down menu choose the items respectively and ANGLE @ Z @ STEERING WHEEL. For each option we click CALIBRATE. In the case of X Axis rotate the steering wheel left and right, for Z Axis to step back and move closer to emulating the wheel brake and accelerator. We close the configuration window and click on (ACTIVATE APPLICATION). We look forward to load the game and in options set as the device controller VIRTUAL SPACE CAM JOYSTICK 1. We are ready to put at the helm of our sports car, to drive in style wii! The game screen will be full screen, while an alarm will sound (wow) will alert us if we went out of alignment with the webcam.
It is true is a bit difficult but I assure you that is a real cool !!!!!!!!!!
