The EyeToy doesn't detect where your hands are.  It detects movement by seeing changes in brighness...

Which tells it where your hands are.

It's looking like a BYO RGT is possible.

Those two projects look mighty similar  ??? ;D

Oops, sorry, that was the wrong link!  I have corrected it up above.

Oops, I duplicated the link from above.  I have now corrected it.

Nice find,  with the source to that, and http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/  this might be a fairly easy project.

The biggest issue I see right now is that the current solutions work by moving the mouse cursor... Howerver, you can't have 2 mouse cursors... So you wouldn't be able to track 2 guns this way...

Perhaps you could figure out a way to make an analog device drive the inputs (like the T2 guns) then you could build a driver that sends similar inputs to track the 2 guns.  Maybe that's not  the best way to word it, but I know what I'm talking about... (Drive a gun with something other than a mouse)

Anyhow, a gun with an IR Diod in the barrel & a camera should work for 1 gun, we'd just need to find a way to track 2 diods... (different flashing patterns maybe...) but then you're dealing with FPS of the camera & being able to adjust for different cameras...

Interesting...
