Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2014 10:27 am
Hi guys,
I will start a project to build a walking input device for controlling FPS game in front of a TV or with HMD ( oculus , morpheus, samsung gear ...).
The parts that compose the device is a unicycle saddle, gas spring, ball bearing mechanism for 360 °, and support stufs.
Electronique part for the prototype will be modified joypad or nunchuk connected to contact on the bottom of the seat.
Seat will act as joystick so you need to move your hips to controll it.
I need your comment to tell me what a such device must be able to do, so i will put a list of what the device must be :
- Compatible by playing in front of a screen ( no 360° support) or with a hmd ( with 360° support).
- Be able to crouch and prone.
- Be able to move in crouch poistion or in prone position.
- Be able to play with Joystick to fly and joystick drive car.
- Be able to lean left and right.
Thanks for your feedback.
