RGB webcam game controller

Main project in ./Project.
See ./Project/README.md for details on the c++ app.

This project was built with Opencv v3.1.0.
We can quickly build and test with a higher version by using docker.

Build Docker

Check Makefile.
First, we build the docker container (you can use the commands in Dockerfile on your own OS if you want...).

make build-docker

Run Docker

After building the container, open xhost on your host OS.
WARNING: this is a quick development hack.
Running the following command will make your system vulnerable.
Run on trusted networks!

# Open xserver on host (HIGHLY DANGEROUS, ONLY DO THIS IN A TRUSTED HOME NETWORK).   
xhost +

# When finished, close it with:
xhost -

Run the docker container.

make run-docker

Inside the container:

# Test X forwarding.
xeyes

# Clear old build files.
rm -rf ./*

# Build new app.
cmake ../src
make
./detector

This version will only work if you specify input files in detector.conf. We can't capture webcam with this Docker setup.

Build and run on host

See commands in Dockerfile.

Other dependencies

For the program to generate user input, you will need to install packages xdotool and wmctrl. $ sudo apt-get install xdotool wmctrl

You can adjust the parameters in file detector.conf.
