SinusoidDelta Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I haven't seen this mentioned on the bored so I figured I'd share. I apologize if this has been detailed in another thread. The RealSense is a depth sensing camera capable of 3D reconstruction, gesture recognition, head position tracking, facial recognition, and much more. The tech is loosely based on the primesense technology (V1 Kinect, Asus Xtion, Structure Sensor, etc.) which used a single IR camera to derive depth information from a projected infrared light pattern. RealSense differs significantly in the it has stereoscopic IR cameras (2 IR, 1 RGB) in addition to the IR emitter. This means significantly better performance and accuracy of depth data. This has enabled accurate facial recognition and position tracking, something the Primesense PS1080 was never quite capable of. More details of the hardware can be found here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/realsense-r200-camera Intel has made the entire SDK public in hopes some developers can find innovative or appealing application for marketing. I think DCS World fits that bill.:thumbup: Details can be found here:https://software.intel.com/en-us/realsense/home The F200 model is available for purchase and has a desirable focal length. The Realsense's price is actually less than TrackIR which is amazing, considering its capable of volumetric 3D reconstruction: http://click.intel.com/intel-realsense-developer-kit.html And now for the best part! It's already supported by Opentrack! In fact, Intel used the Opentrack plugin to show off headtracking with iRacing at their press conferences. https://github.com/ph0b/opentrack-realsense-plugin Hopefully this attract some forum members with more knowledgeable than myself. The idea of ditching TrackIR's overpriced unit and tracking without the nuisance of point model/hat is very appealing. :thumbup: Thoughts? Edited January 2, 2016 by SinusoidDelta
BaD CrC Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks for the good info. Haven't heard about this before. What I am,looking for is a hand tracking device so that I will be able to activate switches in my cockpit while wearing an occulus rift. Any idea? https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
SinusoidDelta Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks for the good info. Haven't heard about this before. What I am,looking for is a hand tracking device so that I will be able to activate switches in my cockpit while wearing an occulus rift. Any idea? Absolutely. It has very impressive gesture recognition, capable of tracking all 10 fingers.
