DJ,

Well done on the second camera interface! Now, If I put camera's in each eye of my robot Melvis, I will see in stereo just as he will.

I suppose, I'll need to figure out some sort of device to view the images, keeping the right image for the right eye and the left for the left.

Add stereo microphones and you could really "be your robot."

Thomas

PS. My robot clone project is on hold a bit. Life (and my day job) is just getting in the way these days.

I couldn't find (BVForward, BVLeft, BVRight, BVReverse, BVStop) in the script control's? guesss this will be for the BV4113 controller?

Everything else is there you just need to add a new camera control as you can have lots now and the resolution increase is much appreciated really improves the picture quality if you go to 320 x 240

Augmented reality is impressive and fun to play with not thought of a use yet though?

@thomasfromla brilliant idea about 3D you just want some polarising filters from maybe some cheap sunglasses in front of each camera orientate the filters so one is vertical and the other horizontal say. Then make up some glasses that match the cameras on your bot and have the 2 camera views side by side viola! 3D. Perhaps DJ could provide a stereo viewing panel and also the glasses! its one way. Think I'll give this a try

@Robotz012248 is your motion tracking switched on in tracking types on your camera control? Perhaps post video as that would be normal behaviour??
