Help with IMU and Unity 3D

Hi there,

I am interested in buying an IMU to be used for Unity 3D as a controller. I'm quite interested in having it wireless and I've come across the x-BIMU
http://www.x-io.co.uk/products/x-bimu/

Has anyone used this and would it be easy to port the inputs over to Unity 3D?

Ryan

Thanks for the reply. In the end I decided to buy the Razor 9DOF IMU and just create a wireless version myself.

This way is simply Razor IMU -> Unity

I simply wrote a script in Unity to read in the serial data from a specified port.
