Hi all, I mentioned in another thread that I've been working on a motion tracker application for use with the raspberry pi. I wanted to provide an update on progress and give you an idea as to what I still need to do to complete the project.
so my program currently looks like this. (warning jerky mobile phone footage)
https://youtu.be/nNuVtlkJpEkso things that I need to improve are:
1) audio is not quite right, I've recorded a bit of the movie audio and tried to clean it up to remove hiss and other artefacts but it's still not right. Need to look at this again (any budding sound engineers on here? or does anyone know how the sound was generated in the first place?)
2) the transparency on the contacts is a little inconsistent so I'll need to sort that
3) the tracker contacts seem to all gravitate towards the right hand side of the HUD centre.
outstanding items on my to-do list
1) test output fully on the raspberry pi. I tested this quickly at a ridiculous hour this morning as I was watching the tennis final however I have not tested it using the 2.2" screen as output with the digital compass. The performance on the raspberry pi on my TV was just as I was hoping so with fingers crossed there should be no problems.
2) figure out how to load the pi and execute the program at start-up.
3) figure out how to wire in a button to control addition of tracker contacts.
as I have already mentioned, if this all works ok, I fully intend to release it to the community. I haven't decided how yet but my initial thought is to open source it on github. I will probably be able to lend some help to those of you who don't fancy dabbling with raspberry pi installs etc. as well. but this is something for the future.
in the mean time if anyone has any comments or ideas for improvements I would love to hear them as they will help us to get a more accurate app.
cheers
