Does anyone know if the SDK of the Oculus Rift package would work with EZB if there was a plug in developed for it? It doesn't really need to be something as big and bulky as that. Very unfortunate that Vuzix is no longer offering support with EZB. That would work great.

Like the Vuzix, I'd like to pull from the IMU data to move servos and transfer the camera feed from the EZ camera to the goggles over two complete separate computers in different places.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to POC this, would be grateful.

If it ties to arduino, then it’ll connect to ARC. Post the project details and a plugin would be really easy to make. It’ll connect via serial connection, which we can hikack as well

This is pretty exciting. I’m officially on spring break with family. But will get to it when I get back!

OK got this working today. I will make a video or do a write up to get this going. Its pretty straight forward with ardurino, but if you are unfamiliar with 3d programs finding things can be a pain. So some sorta visual references will help.

Everything is free (Unity and the plug in). I'll post a download link to the project file for Unity soon, but better to get a jump on and install Unity (make account etc) and the grab the plug in.

I don’t see any code - as requested. If you want this to work with ezrobot, share the arduino code or communication protocol. Otherwise, this is the wrong forum:)

Some days its just impossible to post here. Today being one of them. I already said in my last post I was getting together the files which would be available from a download. I suggested a download of unity and the plug in for you to test on. Without it would be difficult to understand how they work together.

And for the record

This code does you no good without the .h libraries and the .cpp files for the plug in as suggested for the download links.

#include <Servo.h>
#include "Ardunity.h"
#include "GenericServo.h"

GenericServo servo0(0, 2, false);

void setup()
{
  ArdunityApp.attachController((ArdunityController*)&servo0);
  ArdunityApp.resolution(256, 1024);
  ArdunityApp.timeout(5000);
  ArdunityApp.begin(115200);
}

void loop()
{
  ArdunityApp.process();
}

you're right, that code won't help:)

I won't be installing unity or reproducing what you have done. What i will do is look at the communication protocol from their code and reproduce it in a plugin.

This will really open up a whole new world of robotics if you can get a plug in going and get EZB to connect with unity. Unity is free, and everyone from kids up to directors of feature films are using it.

I'd certainly be up for creating a video series on using them together for robotics.
