Wiicam Block

A Tetris-fashioned proof-of-concept game for PC using a webcam and a wiimote as input devices, developed as part of university coursework. Coded in C#/XNA and C++ (OpenCV).

This game relies on a webcamera and a Wii Remote controller (wiimote) to collect user input. The player interacts with the game holding the wiimote in her hand, moving and rotating the wiimote in front of the camera.

The goal of the game is to align blocks of the same colour falling from the top, in a tetris-like fashion. The player can change the column by moving the wiimote horizontally and can spin the blocks by rotating the wiimote. The game also has a built in camera calibration procedure and testing that allow the player to calibrate the camera using a printed check board.

The main features of the application are:

• Input is provided via the camera (wiimote position - not by the wiimote classic tracker) and wiimote accelerometer
• Coded in C#/XNA for the game part and C++/OpenCV for the camera input
• Built-in camera calibration and debugging
• All the graphic content has been created by myself
