Close range tracking (torso), angle of body
-
Dear @DusX,
Could you use fiducial markers? For instance, if you had the fiducial pattern on the costume, but done it such a way that the fabric does _not_ reflect IR, and the fiducial marker _does_ reflect IR, then you could make it so that the marker was invisible (at least somewhat?) to the naked eye. The benefit to this approach is that fiducial markers give you not only position, but rotation as well.Here's a software that uses fiducial markers.http://reactivision.sourceforge.netJust a thought.Best Wishes,Mark -
@mark, this would be a great approach if I had control over the user, but this is meant to be open to the public to interact with.
I am happy if I can get some basic swaying of the users body.That would suit the interactive element nicely...so I'm going to test Kinect and the PS eye.Wish me luck. -
@DusX -- GOOD LUCK! ;-)

If it is just torso angle a gyro and wireless arduino would be easier imho. No tracking just real data.

Good luck!!! Would love to know if you figure something out that can be as robust as you need. -A

after the Werkstatt i tried to mod our ps eye but failed as there are different versions on the market, if you buy one just be aware of this difference.[http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/5189/](http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/5189/) -
You can take the easy way out (for searching modified PS3 eye IR camera)

Thanks... I had looked at this site some time back but didn't have the link anymore.Helpful piece of information for sure... thanks. -
@DusX this is the one i ´m using
