AR FOOSBALL 2009

This is my 3rd Augmented Reality assignment for IET. We had to build an AR system that used a vision system with another interaction device. I used the Nintendo Wii controller with Goblin XNA to create an AR version of the classic foosball game. The game uses the accelerometer in the Wii controller to accurately simulate the spinning motion needed to control the players in the traditional game. Directional buttons on the Wii are used to slide the player from side to side.

The game uses Goblin XNA for the AR and graphics. Goblin provides C# wrappers for AR SDK ARTag and Newton Game Dynamics. The game was developed in Visual Studio 2008 using XNA 3.0 with Goblin. The Wii library is written by Brian Peek and can be found here. I'll definitely look to develop this further, I think...
