| A BYOAC Lightgun, are we up to it? |

You know, since this is BYOAC and we all have different ideas about what the gun should be like, why not just produce the guts of the gun and let the people who buy the guts find a suitable gun to put it in. Maybe it could even include all of the triggers and buttons, just not in a gun case. That way if someone wanted a rifle, they could make one. If someone wanted a .45, they could make one. This would make the possiblities limitless. Of course, it could be produced with a "complete gun" setup and a "gun kit" setup. This way those who like the BYOAC model can get it, and those who want something different could just get the kit and go nuts. I, for one, would incorporate it so the barrel mech fits over my eye and the trigger is on my temple... |

I wonder if you could use an Analog Devices ADXL202 accelerometer? |
| ErikRuud:
That is similar to the technology in the Gyro Mice. It would sort of work, but it would not be true aiming. |

as long as the shot goes where the barrels pointed I dont really care ;) http://www.analog.com/en/subCat/0,2879,764%255F801%255F0%255F%255F0%255F,00.html They sell gyros and accelerometers.. I think if you can make a VR glove with them you can make a gun..but then again those guy were at University of California, Berkeley. They might have more between their ears than most normal humans ;D |
| ErikRuud:
The problem with gyro mice as guns is that they have no direct link to the screen. They also don't allow for a "natural" gun aiming motion. They register twisting at the wrist, better than movement of the whole arm. An accellerometer based system would probably handle arm movements better, but I don't think that it would get confused by the user changing position. |
