Low-cost optical tracking for immersive collaboration in the CAVE using the Wii Remote
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel way of interacting with an immersive virtual environment which involves inexpensive motion-capture using the Wii Remote. A software framework is also presented to visualize and share this information across two remote CAVE-like environments. The resulting applications can be used to assist rehabilitation by sending motion information across remote sites. The application’s software and hardware components are scalable enough to be used on desktop computer when home-based rehabilitation is preferred.

Access Grid: Immersive Group-to-Group Collaborative Visualization
Immersive projection displays have played an important role in enabling large-format virtual reality systems such as the CAVE and CAVE like devices and the various immersive desks and desktop-like displays. However, these devices have played a minor role so far in advancing the sense of immersion for conferencing systems. The Access Grid project led by Argonne is exploring the use of large-scal...
متن کاملTowards Cross-Surface Immersion Using Low Cost Multi-Sensory Output Cues to Support Proxemics and Kinesics Across Heterogeneous Systems
Collaboration in immersive systems can be achieved by using an immersive display system (i.e. CAVE and Head-Mounted Display), but how do we communicate immersion cross-surface for low immersive displays, such as desktops, tablets, and smartphones? In this paper, we present a discussion of proxemics and kinesics to support based on observation of physical collaboration. We present our research a...
متن کاملA Modular Implementation of Wii Remote Head Tracking for Virtual Reality
Virtual reality (VR) environments based on interactive rendering of 3D computer graphics often incorporate the use of position and orientation tracking on the user’s head, hands, and control devices. The Wii Remote game controller is a massmarket peripheral that can provide a low-cost source of infrared point tracking and accelerometer data, making it attractive as a PC-based virtual reality he...
متن کاملTracking the Wiimote in 3D using ARToolkit
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...
متن کاملLow-Cost Multiple Degrees-of-Freedom Optical Tracking for 3D Interaction in Head-Mounted Display Virtual Reality
Interacting with the 3D content present in games and virtual environments generally involves some form of 3D interaction. As such, the design and development of 3D spatial interaction devices are important in creating more realistic and immersive user experiences in 3D virtual environment applications through natural and intuitive human expression. In general, current commercially available 3D ...
