New BAM realease contains now: BAM-Tracker - tool to use BAM/Head tracking without FP in other programs.
Unit3D Pinball ma now use it.
------- manual for users ------
1. You need working BAM head tracking in Future Pinball. (There is no tool to setup head tracking, so FP is used for this).
2. Run: BAM-Tracker.exe - it will be visible in windows tray. (don't run FP).
3. Select Head Tracking plugin. (If window is not visible - double click on tray icon).
Selected tracking method will be remember. You don't need to select it again after computer restart.
Thats all.
------ info for devs : C# -----
Link to demo clients (with sources)
See Program.cs
There is simple class BAM_Tracker with detailed info inside and example.
Usage:
on program init:
call BAM_Tracker.init()
on program exit:
call BAM_Tracker.release()
to get data:
if (BAM_Tracker.isReady()) // it will tell, if init() works.
{
BAM_Tracker.data_struct data = BAM_Tracker.getData();
// process data
}
// ---------------- data from BAM ----------------
int data.Counter; // increased after coords update.
double data.ScreenWidth, data.ScreenHeight; // screen width/height in [mm]
double data.PlayerX, data.PlayerY, data.PlayerZ; // player position in relation to center of screen in [mm]
double data.EyeVecX, data.EyeVecY, data.EyeVecZ; // normalized vector with direction, where is right eye from Player position
EyeVec is used in stereoscopy. Example:
double eyeSeparation = 65; // 65 [mm]
vec3 Player; // player position (3d vector)
vec3 EyeVec; // 3d vector)
vec3 PlayerRightEye = Player+EyeVec*eyeSeparation/2; // coords used to render frame for right eye
vec3 PlayerLefttEye = Player-EyeVec*eyeSeparation/2; // coords used to render frame for left eye
------------ tech info ---------
Client comunicate with Tracker thru shared memory (memory mapped file).
Coords from BAM are updated 500 times per sec. So max delay is 2ms.
They are alredy filtered.
---------- how to run demo client -------
1. Run BAM-Tracker - select tracking method.
2. Run clinet: BAM-Tracker-Client-CSharp.exe. If BAM-Tracker.exe is running You will see in window coords (same as in BAM-Tracker window).
