I’m a second year electrical engineering student from Holland. At the moment we’re developing product for a school project. For this project we need to make a 3D simulation of the game pong. Instead of playing the game with a PC mouse we need to develop a table tennis bat. Its position must be traceable. This means you can stand in front of the screen with the bat in your hands. When you move the bat, a bat on the screen will also move.
To track the position of the bat we want to use an infrared tracking camera. Because the chance of errors is low and it’s not to hard to accomplish.
Still we would like to consider a few other possibilities, maybe you got some alternative options for us?
