  • PS Move API: a Cross-Platform 6Dof Tracking Framework
    PS Move API: A Cross-Platform 6DoF Tracking Framework Thomas Perl∗ Benjamin Venditti† Hannes Kaufmann‡ Interactive Media Systems Group University of Technology Vienna ABSTRACT With the introduction of 6DoF motion controllers for game con- soles, low cost hardware for 3D interaction became widely avail- able. However, no fully-featured software solution for 6DoF track- ing exists that takes advantage of the PlayStation (PS) Move Motion Controller without additional hardware. We designed, developed and evaluated a library - the PS Move API - that enables developers to use the PS Move Motion Controller as 6DoF input device in combination with a camera. Initially we solved hardware related problems such as pairing and communi- cation over USB and Bluetooth. In this paper we describe how we perform visual tracking and sensor fusion, combining visual and in- ertial data. Performance results show that multiple controllers can be tracked simultaneously in real time. Figure 1: Interacting with existing applications using the PS Move Developers using the library can choose between a low-level C API or higher-level abstractions in Python, Java, C# or the Pro- cessing framework. The library is open source, has been devel- oped and tested on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, and is re- The PS Move Controller has been designed to work with the leased under a Simplified BSD License.

  • Game Development with the Oculus Rift and Handheld Motion Controllers
    Hikari Hook: Game Development with the Oculus Rift and Handheld Motion Controllers Eric Benson, John Breen, Chris Knapp, Sean Halloran, Andrew Han November 8, 2015 A Major Qualifying Project Report: Submitted to the faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Approved by: Professor Robert Lindeman, Advisor This report represents the work of five WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract In seated virtual reality experiences, the player may feel disconnected from their character if walking is the primary method of traversal. The goal of this project was to explore alternative methods of character traversal to avoid this disconnect. Hikari Hook is a virtual reality game we developed in collaboration with Takemura Lab at Osaka University. In the game, players use a pair of grappling hooks to solve environmental puzzles and traverse the forest. Testing performed with students from Takemura Lab was used to improve the player experience. ii Acknowledgements This project was only possible thanks to all the support we received from many organizations and individuals. Either by providing guidance or providing the necessary equipment, these people helped us to complete a successful project. The first organization we would like to thank is Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). Without the support from WPI and the Interdisciplinary and Global Studies Division (IGSD), this project would never have been possible. We want to thank them for taking the time to organize and plan the logistics for the project in Japan.

  • NEWS from 3Drudder
    NEWS FROM 3dRudder Meet us at CES, Las Vegas: • Unveiled - Jan. 6th • Convention Center, South Hall, Booth #21803 - Jan. 8-11 3dRudder, a foot controller offering free locomotion on PlayStation® VR to launch April 2019 January 6th, 2019 (NEW YORK, NY and AIX EN PROVENCE, FRANCE) – 3dRudder announces the upcoming release of its new foot controller, the 3dRudder for PlayStation® VR. The device adds free locomotion in 20 compatible games already, kicking the virtual reality experience up a notch on the best-selling console. What does the 3dRudder brings to the PlayStation VR? The promise behind the launch of the 3dRudder for PlayStation® VR Edition is nothing less than full freedom of movement in compatible games. The foot-powered controller will enable players to move seamlessly wherever they want to and travel freely within their virtual environment from the comfort of their couch. The 3dRudder will also grant PlayStation VR players with full motion control: the ability to speed up, slow down, and stop exactly when they chose to. And while they’ll manage motion with their feet on the platform of the 3dRudder, they’ll keep their hands totally free to shoot, hit, grab objects, and change weapons armed with their playStation move controllers or the Aim controller. What does it feel like to use the 3dRudder? Launched early 2017 in its PC & VR edition, the 3dRudder has the reputation of being an intuitive controller. With its rounded base and its button-free design, all the user has to do is sit down, put his feet on the 3dRudder and tilt it, spin it, or exert pressure on its platform to trigger movement.

  • Cybersport 2.0: Ethical Dimensions of Videogames As Sport
    The Philosophy of Computer Games Conference, Madrid 2012 Cybersport 2.0: Ethical Dimensions of Videogames as Sport Sean Naubert Introduction As a society we place great value in participation in sports. This value is manifested in two levels. The prima facie good that we attribute to sports is fitness and the “playful” engagement in exercise activities. However, it is arguable that the primary good that society bestows upon sports is the ability to develop character within those who participate. Unfortunately, videogames are considered to exist on the opposite end of the spectrum. Videogames have the greater societal stigma that they drive participants into isolation and antisocial behavioral patterns. Any morally redemptive characteristics are conspicuous by their absence within the stigma. I propose that videogame’s standing in society requires reconsideration in light of the tremendous progress made in regard to technology and the subsequent complexity of the videogames that permeate the market today. I intend to argue that videogames and sports, in their classic renditions, are engaged in many of the same ways, and that now with the advent of “motion-gaming” platforms, videogames have drastically blurred these distinctions in a sufficient capacity as to warrant a re- evaluation towards similar values that we attribute to sports. The argumentation will proceed with an analysis of key aspects of Dennis Hemphill’s original “Cybersport” article and the reapplication of these ideas in respect to motion gaming. A metaphysical analysis on the state of games and a discussion about the advantages that they afford us will follow respectively. Cybersport Dennis Hemphill laid the groundwork for this piece in his article “Cybersport” by recognizing two key concepts.

Online gaming allows people to play together despite physical distances and differences in time zones. Players enjoy new experiences in awe-inspiring interactive worlds while effectively inactive. This project is a physically active outdoor social game that embeds a layer of fantasy and challenge in the real world employ- ing location-based technologies available on mobile phones. Requiring the game be multiplayer in real-time and played in a physical space presents certain limitations in the design of input and output mechanics. This project demonstrates how those con- straints were managed to create a compelling experience.
