Hi Mate, I moved the discussion to the FreePIE forum

http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.p ... 388#p73388

i would really like to keep this discussion going, mars s video just looks so neat!
mars, i would really appreciate if you could talk (or even share some code? about the gmod changes..

[numu]

hello all !

it took me a while ( cause i never did anything like this before, neither programming ), but i succeeded..
thanks to the code of mars (and some tweeks) and the freeimu documentation .. and and ... i finally got it working!

im using free imu and a arduino mini, free imu library and gmod as well..

so thanks to you guys and your forum.. just for beeing here and giving information!

cheers

good work. congrats on learning a new skill as well.

@numu: Wow man! That's really impressive if that's your first foray into programming.

i try d to learn as3 .. but didnt really finish anything with it, but i know what a method is

here a small update

Cool.

[numu]

hey guyz n girlz

i thought i d hook you up with a small progress

hoping to achieve a successful fieldtest next week

what you see here is the working movement per X/Y coords from the camera
the imu angles, but that worked before as well..
and the possibility in gmod to port from one room to another and backwards, adding the changed coords to the camera XY.

now its possible to see more then one room eventhough the real room didnt change,.. (what is the core of my theaterplay idea that i m trying to realize

thanks for watching

Nice.

[brantlew]

Cool, what camera is that?

[numu]

Cool, what camera is that?

a ps3eye cost like 12 euros (15 dollars ~)

its cool because it makes 60 fps

[numu]

Cool, what camera is that?

or you mean the camera i recorded the clip with? thats a go pro 920

[numu]

hey guys!
so after a reaaalllyy long time, its finally finished!

thanks for the input, the first steps i could start off the project with : )

used : ps3eye for movement
a freeimu for headtracking
and gmod is the game


thanks

I love the evolution of the marker.

Hm, it's not big enough or bright enough to work at long distances...

accually that marker (as it is) is not necessary anymore, it would work better if the whole helmet would glow (easy to do with led strips)
and when the whole helmet glows i think you could use it as well for long distance projects.

cause i only take the XY coords from the person inside the room, the orientation is now done simply with the free imu.

Have you considered EL Panels?

Since they have a lot of area, I'm assuming they'd be easy to track using blob tracking of some sort.

Or you could just stick an LED in a ping pong ball and do it PSMove style

[numu]

ah! no i have never heard or EL panels, but that looks cool!

accually, as i said, i screwed it up with the marker, the calibration of the imu didnt work out back then (a year ago or so) so i thought i would need to merge the data with the orientation data of the camera, eg fiducial..

thanks for the el panels tip!
