Right now I am looking for something very simple to connect to Unity. If you are just looking for some code to do all of this for you I don't think you will currently find it. You already have my email from our previous communications regarding this (in case you don't know I am the same person). I am fine with an Non Disclosure Agreement, etc, if that makes you happy. If you would like me to assist or give ideas I would be willing to at least take your code, run it, review it, offer advice, etc. I do know Unity to some extent and I do have an Etherdream. I'd really love to be involved in trying something like that but I have very little time for it at all. The implementation of this I created in Spaghetti for webcam/video works pretty well. If there are not too many objects and there is good contrast in the shapes, the edge detector should give you good results and with a good computer I think you can get near or more than 30fps, depending on complexity. If you just want to do edge detection you can do that. I don't know if you can use Unity to tell you which parts of the GO are visible so that you don't draw the culled parts. If the shapes are simple enough, you could create a game using the game engine and your script code, but instead of attempting to do a straight video/texture to vector conversion, maybe you could take the resulting GameObject coordinates so that you are doing a custom render of each game object and combining them into a frame to send to the laser.

Using the physics engine aspects of the game to do something could be fun. Overlaying laser on video seems interesting. In the past I considered doing something like you are but never really came up with an interesting idea. There are a lot of implementations of the driver in GitHub so I think this part is relatively simple compared to the rest.įor the rest of the project, it depends on what you want to display.

Since Unity is single threaded you will have to be creative with how you handle that so that it doesn't block.

In that case, the best way to interface with the DAC is via straight up networking protocols so that your game will work on PC/MAC and even mobile.Ĭreating a asset to do that would mean creating some GameObject that wraps the driver, and accepts frame data. Last time I used Unity four years back it was mono based and I assume it still is.
