Play Games With Your Webcam
Kiss
your keyboard, mouse and joystick goodbye, and start playing games
with your webcam! CamSpace is Super Easy & Super Fun.
A
webcam knows many uses. Obviously, it can be used for video
conferencing, or recording your ambitious YouTube videos and responses.
However, that??™s not all.
So How Does It Work?*It's
more like well be recording objects and will be using the camera
motion sensing ability to transform these into intuitive controllers.
*Thats
right, using the CamSpace software, you can transform nearly any
object to an input device! Just check out the video below to see it at
work.
*You can use cardboard steering wheels for racing games,
playing swords for fighting games, and a chicken drumstick for flight
simulators!
*The implementation also works a lot smoother than
would be expected. You need Windows for the software, and about any
webcam can be used, though older webcams tend to work less well due to a
lower frame-rate and problems with light adjustments.
Installing The CamSpace Software:*The software is currently Windows only. Also make sure youve properly installed your webcam.
*You
can test out CamSpace by playing one of the CamSpace games. These are
small mini-games that accompanied CamSpace. You ought to be able to
find them in a folder on your desktop as well.
Item Recognition:*CamSpace
recognizes specific items by their shape and colour. In theory, you
can use any object you want. However, you might want to avoid objects
that have the colour of your skin or clothes and use obvious colours -
like bright green or pink - instead.
*The program will ask you
to specify what item you intend to use by holding it in a specific
area of the screen. You can also trigger the lock-function by pressing
Shift + .CamSpace will now track your object so you can use it for
simple interaction. It will monitor the size and rotation and will
hereby determine the exact location of the item.
*You also be
able to find several steering wheel templates on the site, this save
you some work and give you a general idea of what needed.
Playing Games:*You can play any game with CamSpace, but to do so you??™ll need a controller.
*A
controller specifies what in-game action is paired up with which
motion. As you might??™ve guessed, each controller is game specific.
*You
can either download one of the controllers that are developed by
other people, or make one yourself and upload it to the CamSpace
developer site.
Making a Controller:*Making
a controller is relatively easy. You can start making one by opening
CamSpace and selecting Create New Controller under Developer Tools in
the right-click menu.
*If you then choose to edit your script (also located under Developer Tools), an editing window will pop up.
*In
this window you be able to specify which action pairs up with which
function easily. Scripting shouldn be necessary with basic controllers.
