Bike rig...ideas?
Any ideas on how to setup an exercise bike as an input controller for Unity3D?
Great minds think alike. I've been debating doing this, but i've seen seen a lot of posts on it from others, so while I may still have a unique idea, encouraging others in this benefits me as it could lead to a greater acceptance to the idea. So...
Ive been debating this, The best idea I have had so far is a leap motion sensor to monitor the hands and what they do on the bars, and wire up a sensor to watch the wheel or pedals spin, or find a way to pull the data from any sensors on the bike. Might even be able to have a leap sensor watch it, but hey they run about $80 each so thats getting expensive.
Alternatively I suspect a kinect sensor could watch the legs and body motions on a bike pretty well.
