I'm happy that people are using my apps and find the info on NUIGroup and on my blog helpful..<BR/><BR/>With the Camera, The idea is to get a high frame per second camera (and a pretty decent computer to run the apps) which will reduce the lag from the user’s interaction and the camera/computer processing time.<BR/>Many people are using the PS3 camera because it is a cheap, 640x480 @ 60fps/75fps (and 320x240 @ 120fps!)camera which is still USB.<BR/><BR/>I would recommend using a faster FPS camera if you want a more realistic and smoother setup.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>-PaulPaul D'Intinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018831417959562708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783333171411378124.post-40791338419504127532009-02-12T08:49:00.000+11:002009-02-12T08:49:00.000+11:00Paul, first of all congratulations on a gr8 table,...Paul, first of all congratulations on a gr8 table, a gr8 blog and some gr8 software. I have been following nuigroup for about 2 months now and am just getting around to reading your blog. <BR/><BR/>I just finished an LLP table except for some finetuning th elaser placements it's working ok. Could you confirm the advantages of using a faster FPS camera. I am getting only 30fps from a Philips SPC900NC, but ai have a Sont PS3 ready to go. I just want to be clear on what to expect.<BR/><BR/>You have also convinced me to start on my next table and make it a DI. With fiducial capability, it's got to be a winner.<BR/>John<BR/>nuigroup:Jsearlesjsearleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106297227818247554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783333171411378124.post-72873629128757319602008-10-29T10:09:00.000+11:002008-10-29T10:09:00.000+11:00Hello Uwe,Please read this post:http://nuigroup.co...Hello Uwe,<BR/><BR/>Please read this post:<BR/><BR/>http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/2102/<BR/><BR/>Here is a quote from this post...<BR/><BR/><I>"..The sun itself puts out an incredible amount more IR light than what we are.

(type in 140 IR led in ebay search bar)The other IR illuminators I actually made using a printed circuit board and IR Leds. <BR/><BR/>If you are considering building a table with similar dimensions to mine, my recommendation would be to go with maybe 4 x 48 IR Led Illuminators for a much more even distribution of IR light.Paul D'Intinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018831417959562708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783333171411378124.post-87816552723067903342008-10-27T05:08:00.000+11:002008-10-27T05:08:00.000+11:00nice work!! wondering where u purchased the ir-lam...nice work!! <BR/>wondering where u purchased the ir-lamps?<BR/><BR/>ty!!<BR/><BR/>F/Fernandokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13722604510556321653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783333171411378124.post-60011175191808870092008-10-09T16:14:00.000+11:002008-10-09T16:14:00.000+11:00Oh, sorry, never mind...
