Re: [TANKS] iphone control

I still like my idea of the neurologically-operated mental-tank. The  
pilot can wear electrodes on his head and mentally contol the tank via  
a computer and transmitter!

You can get sprockets with any common combination of  tooth pitch, tooth
count, and shaft diameter at McMaster.

As a side note, pulleys are defined by diameter.  On sprockets, the tooth
pitch and tooth count implies the diameter

Always buy mine from Surplus Center.  Cheapest I've found with a large

expect for cheap

What is a good source for sprockets?  I need a 4.5 - 5 inch diameter 12 or
13 tooth sprocket (actually, I need 4 of them).

 

Thanks,

[TANKS] Re: iphone control

2010-01-07 Thread HV
The mention of augmented reality (AR) is also interesting. I saw an
article that said that AR software development kits have begum to
appear on the market. A first-person shooter game using AR might
consist of people wearing AR glasses that superimpose computer
generated objects on the live, real-world video projected onto the
glasses. The CGI objects might consist of tracers for example.
Requires a very accurate 3D positioning and orientation technology,
however.
