wait, so you are using a basic webcam to track head movement? That's amazing no? Would that not mean many people could save money by not having to buy expensive track IR headgear and instead use this sort of technology? More info please :)

[nuclearthelab]

Yes that's right, I'm using just a webcam. Although a rather good one, being able to capture at 30fps is important, otherwise the view would be jerky.

[nuclearthelab]

With expensive head-tracking devices what you pay for is reliability. The disadvantage of the webcam and my pixel-color-distance marker detection is that it can be thrown off by objects in the background with similar color to the markers. That's why I use a dark room with bright LEDs, to avoid interference (my first video used just brightly colored objects as markers).

well you have just introduced me to the wonderful world of cam2pan and freelook. Joy of joys, I had no idea. Hope you make some breakthroughs with your own development, keep up the good work!

you can use infrared LEDs and place filter for visible lights in front of the lens... and remove the IR filter if your webcam has one... and your dailight problem would be solved.

Thats really neat! ;) Good job!

[olspookishmagus]

Awesome! Seems promising, do you have something in your mind?

[nuclearthelab]

Thank you, nothing specific... it's just a fun experiment, for the hack value of it :)
