One hybrid controller to rule them all

http://www.pabr.org/linmctool/

Head-to-head comparison of three popular motion controllers. The response of each controller to various motion patterns reflects not only the limitations of its set of sensors, but also the choices I had to make whenever there was an ambiguity (e.g. tilt versus acceleration or yaw versus translation).

Try it yourself, learn about motion sensors and inertial forces, test your own tracking algorithms ! Requires Linux, gcc, a Bluetooth dongle, and at least one controller.

blue-wii

green-move

red-ps3 controller

the others arent six axis like the ps3 controller. thats why it was able to move in a much more dynamic way over more planes.. idiots.

@sYgame02

blue is wii

[sYgame02]

red = ps3 move

Blue = Ps3 Controller

Green = wii

or???

@raiden9980 ups sorry about that, Its already explained in your website

Nice work, I have tested it and it works fine!

I hope this work to encourage the moveonpc project to start developing on Linux!!

PS: I wonder why it is necesary to deactivate the bluetooth HID layer or the input plugin and restart the bluetooth service.

@raiden9980 That's an interesting game. Hint: IR is used, but only when the Wiimote points toward the emitter on top of the screen, i.e. not very often. Also, this is a basic Wiimote, without the "Plus" gyros.

@raiden9980 Ups I'll guess :P

white = Sixasis (no compass)

red = wiimote (location through IR)

green = ps move

what's the color for each controller?
