5DOF IMU video motion data sync demo

Here is the plan: We use camera to record video and attached to it there is a small data logger (Logomatic v2) that logs into txt files video synchronization motion data from a 5DOF IMU Gyro/Accelerometer sensor. The video and the motion data are then used by X-sim2 Video Plugin to actually move your motion platform simulator according the video motion. This is an early test with no motion platform attached, but you can notice how Profiler2 reads these motion data into proper axis.

The 5DOF IMU sensor has 3 accelerometer axis and 2 Gyro axis:

Longitude - X / Accelerometer
Lateral - Y / Accelerometer
Vertical - Z / Accelerometer

Roll - X / Gyroscope
Pitch - Y / Gyroscope

is this something you can use with any pre recorded video?

[tronicgr]

@luvrboi17 Yes, but why not record the motion data along with video in real time? Just mount the camera and the motion sensors on a car or bike or airplane and you are set! ;-)

[keygeeyes]

What is the name of the software you have used?

[tronicgr]

@keygeeyes Its the video plugin of x-simulator

oo yeah, that is so cool! I'll have to go out and collect some more extreme footage knowing this is becoming a real possibility!

[tronicgr]

I would love to have one of your Jolly Rooster TrailRide videos with recorded real motion values using this logomatic/5DOF_IMU setup!!

@tronicgr well im a huge disney ride fan and I have a bunch of rtc3 remakes of disney and universal rides and also live pov versions as well. and I am looking for something where i can use all the videos I have with a motion platform.

This sounds amazing. I have been reading your posts in the x-sim forums. You are a very smart and talented man. I hope you keep doing what you love. Be well.

will do! I will to order this kit on my next spend up...I've spent this months budget...have to wait for my next instalment of pocket money to come in! But the sooner the better, I can record the data and archive until my motion platform is running. You can be sure that you will get a copy of my first one!

cool!
