I uploaded this on my 'community' page a while ago but for some reason CZcams gives no exposure to those posts when they include a video, and sure enough this only gained a miserable 5 views in 9 days, and I think two of them were mine. So even though the content is not properly explained yet, the lack of attention is leading me to set it as a normal video to get some more dopamine from views. ...

    Must play with my iomixer

    @WizardTim Před dnem

    That's a pretty cool application for the iomixer, I've just been using an Xbox controller which has it's downsides. Do you think you'll develop this use case further, particularly around force feedback? Considering the iomixer's application is usually to control various motors I can see it being suited, but I think a lot of DIY wheels use FOC BLDC motors which might be a bit much for iomixer? However I can mention I have played around with DIY head tracking, I first tried the same kinda dead reckoning integration yaw control method as you and hated it, was difficult to control and made me nauseous. I switched to a BNO055 IMU, it gives precalculated absolute Euler vectors so worked great for yaw and always returned to center thanks to the magnetometer but you do have do a couple full rotations before it self calibrates but you can move your head really quickly and it tracks which helped me want to actually look around. I used that for a while but found I was still often slightly nauseous and/or straining myself to keep my head in awkward positions to both have the game camera in the right position but also still be able to see the monitor. Heavy use of the re-center key helped. I currently use (solely for BeamNG) an IMU in combination with OpenTrack and a retroreflective ArUco marker for full 6-DOF tracking with a HMD (pretty much poor man's Oculus Rift), really immersive but also super useful in cockpit view to just see around the A pillar and over the hood by just quickly moving your head. Couple downsides though, it's two separate tracking systems, no sensor fusion, and thus two systems that can drift out of sync and screw up the vector math so two separate re-center hotkeys that I regularly use. Also you can't look backwards or outside the tracking camera FOV as you lose translational tracking. And of course it takes like half an hour to setup and my rubbish code crashes after about an hour or two. Also experimented with stereo inside out tracking in OpenCV for room scale, but it's a massive time sink, was tethered and never got it working in game, but did give some nice high resolution larger than room scale tracking. *I haven't bought a room scale VR system because then I'd just play it all the time and never get anything done, this way I have to earn my gaming time.

    NICE! I just finished turning an Elliptical exercise thing into a game controller.... It's SO amazing to walk, jog, run in STALKER. Makes gaming SO much more immersive and fun! STALKER has only digital inputs so it was a simple first game, with no quick travels. I think next game will have to have an analog in so i can walk the same speed as my character. I don't think i will do head tracking tho. I bob around too much and i just have a thumb stick at the top of one of the arm things that allow u to do the look when u need to. (DON"T BUY CHEEP ANALOG THUMB STICKS) lolz.

  • @AerialWaviator
    @AerialWaviator Před 3 dny

    Fascinating. Enjoyed seeing how head tracking was integrated. For Apple devices, if could emulate a bluetooth game controller, then think you'd might be able to edit program logic and operate the controller without needing to reboot modes.

    Following along with interest ............ a bit off-topic but curious where you buy your NRF transceivers. Most I end up with are short on range, even with suggested fixes. Price seems irrelevant as some charge what they want for most clone regardless of quality.

    • @iforce2d
      @iforce2d Před 3 dny

      Usually AliExpress these days. The ones I'm using in this video are quite short range. Maybe 30 meters in open air if you're lucky, or through one interior wall (no brick or dense cladding). So basically they are only useful within the same room. For the 'long range' version you want the one with a metal can on it, they typically go by the name of "E01-ML01DP5". For those, it can sometimes help to have a 10uf cap across the GND/VCC but I have just as many where it seems to make no difference. The iomixer has a 10uf cap near those pins anyway. For the long range models the antenna quality comes into play.

  • @MobiusHorizons

    Could you use a compass for the yaw? I think that would be more absolute and would have less drift. Maybe combining the sensors if a compass doesn't have enough granularity.

    • @iforce2d
      @iforce2d Před 3 dny

      Yeah I think a compass might work ok. There's none onboard though, and they require much more setup/calibration.

    Great video! I did the RC controller thing with an Arduino. Feels much better to me than a gamepad for simulators. Would love to develop a hybrid controller with more buttons and a separate brake lever.

    • @iforce2d
      @iforce2d Před 4 dny

      Yeah, the average gamepad doesn't feel very precise and often has a huge deadzone in the middle, not to mention the unnatural feeling of using a stick to steer a car. The iomixer has 37 inputs so it could be used to set up a nice 'simpit', but I'm not so serious about driving games that I'll be doing that... I think. The RC controller was an easy middle ground that works well enough for me.
