We’ve used webcams for video conferencing or even recording ourselves on YouTube, but Cam-Trax Technologies has developed patented software called CamSpace, which transforms your computer into a Wii-like gaming platform using your webcam. Unlike Wii Remote which detects motion in three-dimensions, CamSpace uses your webcam’s motion sensing abilities to transform any object into a wireless controller for games. Enough said, check it out in action:
CamSpace appears to quickly map the size and shape of the object before allowing to be used as a controller. CamSpace is free and it’ll work on any machine running Windows which has webcam properly installed. You can download it from here.
I don’t think CamSpace is something I’d use on a regular basis to play games, but it looks both funny and ultramodern at the same time. It’s something console manufactures and game makers should look into before designing their next unique controller! What do you think?
