Virtual Reality
From VirtualLounge
We're working on making something like the Wiimote Desktop VR Display that Johnny Chung Lee demonstrated in this YouTube video. Instead of using a Wiimote and infrared LEDs, we're using a webcam and OpenCV face tracking software.
[edit] Implementation Details
- Standard webcam captures video of user's face.
- Face detection software tracks the face in the video.
- The perspective of a virtual scene is altered as the face moves, creating a 3D effect.
[edit] Tools
- OpenCV for the face tracking
- XNA for the virtual environment
- C# to pull everything together
