Cross-Platform Tracking of a 6DoF Motion Controller
Using Computer Vision and Sensor Fusion

The thesis from the author of the PS Move API is now available online.

Abstract

There is a lack of software for 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) tracking using affordable off-the-
shelf hardware. With the introduction of motion controllers in game consoles, the hardware is
easily available these days, but no fully-featured software solutions for 6DoF tracking exist.

This thesis introduces the PS Move API, a cross-platform open source library for multiple
programming languages that can be used to track multiple PS Move Motion Controllers via
Bluetooth and a USB 2.0 PS Eye camera. The library implements sensor fusion to track all six
degrees of freedom: 3-axis position and 3-axis rotation.
