Race Replay with a ps3 EyeCam

Post by pack529holycross »

I have read an article on a Scoutdads blog regarding setting up a 60fps playstation eyecam to effect a replay system, but his blog does not mention how the data is captured and stored and replayed -- would love some feedback on this possible combination of hardware/software, as the 60fps is a significant advantage of this item:

:offtopic: Wow, that Supertrack braking system (or should I say "breaking" system) leaves much to be desired. :/

That is a cool project. would be a hit at any race for sure. looks like the camera can do 120fps at a lower resolutions too.

Even with memory foam?

I had only heard about the infamous Supertrack "car-catcher" stop section until that photo. Some seem okay with a memory-foam upgrade, yet I remain skeptical that head-on impact is not the best way to bring cars to a stop, as do others.

Really Cool! Scanned over the blog... impressive work Adam!
It seemed to make the racing more accessible and more fun for everyone.
