The Sinden Lightgun - An LCD compatible Lightgun technology

The Sinden Lightgun An LCD compatible Lightgun technology. Currently the only way to play Lightgun games is either to keep a giant CRT television hanging around or use a Wii remote style technology with additional hardware placed around the television (such as a Wii sensor bar). Unfortunately that still doesn't provide line of sight shooting unless you calibrate. However every time you move to a different position or angle you need to re-calibrate. These problems are why we don't see Lightgun games anymore on the major consoles. This is why I developed the Sinden Lightgun. It interacts directly with the television and doesn't require additional hardware around the television or any calibration. It is always accurate even if you change your position. It has enabled me to play all my favourite classic Lightgun games again in the comfort of my living room on my 50inch LCD television and I may be slightly biased but IT'S BRILLIANT!!!! he prototype shown is a high quality SLS 3D printed custom design. It features a high speed camera, a CPU, USB interface, a trigger, 4 assignable action buttons and a pump action reload feature. So far it has driver software for Windows and Linux (including Raspberry Pi), it is mapped to behave like a physical mouse for easy software compatability. Providing the software is compatible (such as Mame) you can even use 2 Sinden Lightguns at the same time. The final production version includes an additional 4 assignable buttons (therefore 8 in total) that you can use for navigating menus or assigning additional actions. So how does it work??? It uses smart image recognition with some clever maths and clever software. The Sinden Lightgun contains a high quality and high speed camera which captures the television screen output and calculates where the user is pointing. A thin rectangular border is added to the display content which is used as a reference point. The software processes the captured image and calculates the required mouse movement in under 5ms. Now I couldn't attempt to bring the Lightgun into the 21st century without at least adding some new functionality. The Sinden Lightgun has experimental 3D tracking. The Sinden Lightgun can identify what angle you are viewing the television from and also your relative distance. This means the television can show different content based on your position which gives a 3D effect. The 3D tracking is at the proof of concept stage but I'm hoping this can develop into something amazing! The Sinden Lightgun as well as PCs also works on the Raspberry Pi. You can build a really good multi-platform Lightgun gaming system using something like RetroPie. Some of the emulators don't run quite as fast as the PC but it doesn't affect the fun. The Sinden Lightgun currently only works on Windows operating systems and experimental support on Linux systems. I'm working on other operating systems and some of the pledges give an opportunity to speed that up. The hardware is compatible once the software drivers are complete. There is a requirement to add a thin software border around the edge of your display output. The included software makes this easy if it is compatible with your hardware or you can do this inside of your emulator which is quite easy to do with most of the major emulators such as Mame or emulator front ends like Hyperspin and Retroarch. I have easy to follow instructions on how to do this. The Sinden Lightgun does not like bright direct sunlight shining on the television as this can impact performance. The Linux support is described as experimental because I am not able to guarantee support over the many different Linux operating systems or guarantee the performance using different hardware and software. It should work and I'll do my best to assist but I can't guarantee it. Please see my youtube videos for a demonstration of Linux support on the Raspberry Pi using RetroPie. It is recommended to be at least a distance of 1.5 times the display width back from the display to get the full performance of the Sinden Lightgun. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... ------------------------------------------ If you found this video valuable, give it a like.
