Never really seen that done but would be interested to. --- End quote --- Your Aim-Traks (and all other IR guns) are cameras. The camera sees the IR LEDs in the "sensor bar" and bases position of that. The "sensor bar" is nothing more than some LEDs lit up as reference points for the camera to use. People have successfully used candles in place of the "sensor bar" for ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and giggles. The Sega arcade systems are more accurate because they have IR LEDs all around the screen, therefore more points of reference for more accurate positioning. If there is anything to this guys solution, I'd asssume it's a camera using the output of the screen rather than IR LEDs for reference. In the videos, it doesn't appear to work any better than an IR gun though. |
