This program is used to send data by Bluetooth to a VR android application as RandCity. Transmitted data are usually the rotation and the walk speed of the user to allow the app to move the player in a 3D world.
This application supports multiple plugins to control the orientation and the walk speed in differents ways:
- a controller with two dials to set the params
- an OpenNI plugin to analyse the images from a depth sensor (usually a Kinect)
Above plugins can be found in the controllers/ folder.
VRController uses some third-party libraries to work correctly
- Qt - used for all GUIs
- Jenkins - used as the continous server integration
- BlueZ - default linux library for Bluetooth functionnality
- QProgressIndicator - add a progress indicator widget (released with LGPL license)
- OpenNI - a framework for 3D Depth Sensors and some usefull functionnalities like skeleton recognition (with the NiTE middleware)
VRController only works on linux systems due to the use of the BlueZ library. To build this project using qmake, run:
$ qmake VRController.pro -r -spec linux-g++
$ makeFor the Bluetooth functionality, you need the BlueZ librairies and headers. On Ubuntu, you can install the packages "bluez" and "libbluetooth-dev". If you don't want to use the bluetooth (usefull for testing without to wait for a bluetooth connection), add this in the qmake command:
CONFIG+=NO_BLUETOOTHTo be able to build the OpenNI controller, you will need the OpenNI libraries installed on your system. See more informations in the Install-OpenNI.md file. You will also need the OpenCV libs (if you are on Ubuntu, you can install the package "libopencv-dev") and the libusb dev files (on Ubuntu, it's the package "libusb-1.0-0-dev").cd c If you don't want to build the OpenNI controller, use:
CONFIG+=NO_OPENNICONTROLLERVRController is licensed under the GNU GPL license v3. You can get a copy of this license in the LICENSE file at the top of this project hierarchy.
