Title: Building blocks for your head tracking and VR projects Post by: PixelPartner on March 25, 2008, 03:51:45 PM I just started an open hardware project as a building block for all sorts of head tracking related Wiimote projects:
It either uses up to 9 IR-LEDs mounted at the Wiimote-TFT-fitting pointing toward the users head and two to four reflective markers at the tracking gear. Alternatively you can place two to four 5mm IR-LEDs in tight fitting holes in the tracking gear. You can use the "kit 2" for monoscopic and stereoscopic (!) VR and gaming projects. http://www.PixelPartner.de/openKMQ.htm (http://www.PixelPartner.de/openKMQ.htm) overview, images and DIY-downloads http://openKMQ.BlogSpot.com (http://openKMQ.BlogSpot.com) latest news on the project For monoscopic projects, you simply download the EPS/SVG layout files and take them with a sheet of PET-G plastics (250x250x1 mm) to a laser cutting service. The layouts are licensed under (CC) Creative Commons "Attributed" licence. For stereoscopic projects, you also need the KMQ prism glasses or you can order the pre-cut-DIY-kit "kit 2". To reduce shipping charges, I look for worldwide enthusiasts to join in providing these kits for your community.

We now have a kit provider for sweden. Please contact: Anders Kjellberg akj [-at-] maxicap.se Others with access to laser cutting are still invited to join as kit providers. Please also stand up - or spread the news ;D to support this idea. |
