Hi!

Just so you guys know, my project is to write software for the virtual reality system we have at our lab in the ECSS, the system has 3D capabilities and also has a tracking system!

See ya!

Now for 3D....

The system we have also can support the 3D effect like you would get with the 3D glasses in a movie theater. So i have to figure out how to write a Dynamic 3D World to show on the screen and hopefully use the tracking system to navigate through the world. So far i'm still just researching how to make this effect, but ill keep you guys updated!

Tracker Interface Written

Using the tracker's API, i developed a interface that makes it very simple to communicate with the trackers and is able to retrieve all kinds of data about the current state of the trackers.

Just to show how cool this really is, i recently included this into the Half-Life 2(a nice shooter game) source code and changed the game so that instead of using the keyboard and mouse to navigate and shoot, you just use your head to look around the world and can shoot and move with the remote.

Basic Tracking Done!

Today i figured out how to communicate with the hardware part of the tracking system we have. There is a head tracker and also a remote type tracker. Since there is a lot of other computers and systems running in the lab, we kinda have some problems with the wireless not working so well :(
