Yesterday we went to the National Automobile Museum in Reno to celebrate my toastmasters group's 50th anniversary. We got our picture taken in a Model T in garb of the era! Interesting that the gas was on the steering wheel and the gas for reverse was a pedal on the floor.

Finally got around to playing this today. It's a great improvement from the original Ticket To Ride. With the edition of passengers, it makes the game that much more fun! Still not sure if there is a good or bad strategy to playing this game.

Finished the submission for ACM Foundations Of Digital Games 2011. This year we entered the RTSS (real time sensory substitution) stuff for the kinect. I think it's pretty interesting work. We shall see what the judges think. I hope it gets accepted. This year's conference is in France!

Google Code MoveOnPC
I have been playing around with the Playstation Move controller thanks to the MoveOnPC project.
I interested in both the motion capture and the haptic capabilities of it. The haptic (rumble) in this controller is way better than the wiimotes. With an intensity level of 0-255 the rumble can be varied, unlike the WiiMote that has to have it either on or off.
The mo-cap piece is a little different. It seems to work thanks to OpenCV, however I am getting crashes in blob detection. I hope to figure that out soon. Right now I can get the move bulb to show up, but as soon as I try to detect a circle it crashes. I need to be able to find various circles within the ps3 eye camera to determine distance from the camera as well as x and y coordinates.

This morning we met Bob and went out to Swan Lake. We were hoping to see some bald eagles, but they decided to not show up. We did see a bunch of swans, ducks, a hawk and some geese!
