Tracking the Wiimote in 3D using ARToolkit

چکیده
Since its introduction in 2006, Nintendo’s Wii remote game controller (wiimote) has been used in many research projects. Most of the time however, only its accelerometer data is actually used. We present a system that allows 3D tracking of the wiimote using its built-in camera, active IR markers and a modified ARToolkit library. Multiple markers are then discriminated by their blinking patterns. We conclude on using accelerometers to supplement optical tracking.

متن کاملUsing ARToolKit for 3D Hand Position Tracking in Mobile Outdoor Environments
Introduction This poster presents how we have used the ARToolKit to develop a cheap and low cost 3DOF (degrees of freedom) hand tracker, allowing us to use a video camera (see figure 2) mounted on the head to track the motion of the hands of the user (see figure 1) as real world X, Y, Z values. This tracker is most useful when working in mobile outdoor environments, as traditional tracking tech...
متن کاملUsing ARToolKit Markers to Build Tangible Prototypes and Simulate Other Technologies
Quick prototyping of tangible user interfaces is currently hampered by availability of toolkits and the double challenge of tinkering with software and hardware. While software may be downloaded, hardware cannot. As a work-around for a class on experimental prototyping of tangible appliances we utilized the ARToolKit that tracks optical markers. By creatively adapting it, our students quickly d...
متن کاملDynamically Shared Optical Tracking
Optical Tracking using ARToolkit provides us with the base technology for a wealth of Augmented Reality applications. However, marker-based optical tracking using a single camera has some drawbacks. Markers must be fully visible to the camera all the time to produce tracking output – occlusion by other objects and limited camera field of view constrain the area that can be effectively tracked b...
