Full Body Tracking Kendo Game - Silviu Dumitrescu

My dissertation topic for the IET MSc course 2007 - 2008
In this project a USB camera tracks the user's body position,the head is tracked with the aid of a Wii remote and Infra-Red LEDs mounted on a pair of glasses, while the (mock-up) Kendo stick will be tracked with a combination of IMU (using the Wii controller) and vision.
Everything is done in real-time.

pretty good for by yourself

Very nice... you should make a bigger area to move around in so you can strafe around him... also, add a sword on screen to follow your movements... would look cool. Also, falling down every time you hit him is kind of lame... make an actual kendou sparring game where you learn from a sensei (tutorial) and compete in a competition.

Oh the comedic value

Cool stuff! I was just wondering myself if something like that woulde be feasible. BTW: When you hit him he acts like he's been hit in his testicles ;)
