CAMSPACE Beta 8.2 - Play Games With Your Webcam | 7,00 Mb
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
we??™ll be recording objects and will be using the camera??™s motion
sensing ability to transform these into intuitive ???controllers??™.
*That??™s
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??™ll 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 you??™ve 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??™ll also be able to
find several steering wheel templates on the site, this??™ll save you
some work and give you a general idea of what??™s 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??™ll be able to specify which action pairs up with
which function easily. Scripting shouldn??™t be necessary with basic
controllers.
