Dor Givon, founder and chief technical officer of XTR3D, has demonstrated his company's software, which can turn standard 2D web cameras into a gesture control interface, to the BBC's Katia Moskvitch.
"We've spent six months perfecting the camera controls and user interface," Warin said.
All LEDs were connected in series to a camera control unit which also acted as an interface between the cameras and the DAQ laptops.
The team worked on a Wii control scheme, adapting camera control and the fighting mechanics to the new interface.
In addition, VideoWeb requires a number of software applications including those for data recording, video analysis, camera control, event recognition, anomaly detection, and an integrated user interface.
The new phone includes a grab bag of new features, including a faster 7.2 Mbps HSDPA data connection; a 3 megapixel autofocus camera; built-in video capture, editing and sharing; a voice control interface; a digital compass; and longer battery life.
Users can also readily specify parameters through the control program interface, such as the number of embryos within a batch and camera control parameters.
Results shows that the concept of robot camera control by user head orientation has the potential of improving the intuitiveness of robot teleoperation interfaces, specifically for novice users.
Forstall was also responsible for the Siri "voice control" interface, which has had mixed success.
