Augmented Reality Wall-e



Have you seen my Real Wall-e robot companion? Well, this is my latest addition! You can now experience life as Wall-e. Wearing Vuzix Virtual Reality glasses with built-in accelerometer combined with my EZ-Builder Robot Control Software, you can now see what Wall-e sees AND control his head movements with your head! It's like switching bodies with a robot!

The movie character images on the paper have unique patterns below which my software is able to recognize. When the software recognizes the pattern, I've added a simple script to play an audio file in response to the character. I use PR-T the salon robot, Eve his girlfriend, and the evil captain.

I control Wall-e's movements by using a Wii Remote Control. With the Wiimote I can also control Wall-e's hand position by moving the Wiimote up and down, back and forth.

It is amazing to experience the view from a robot!

Also, here's a video of some people being Wall-e at our local Telus Spark Science Centre
