Hello!
For a specific application, I intend to convert the Astra S sensor into a head mounted device. Basically, I want to disassemble and mount the sensor onto a 3D printed platform which can be worn on the head.
Has anyone tried this? More importantly, is this even realistically possible?
Cheers!
I have done similar things with both Primesense/Xtion and Intel Gesture Cams, but I did not need to disassemble them, as I was just mounting them on an HMD (Rift). In such a case you just apply the orientation and position being supplied by the HMD to the camera data to get “real world” data, a simple operation. Without an HMD or similar motion tracker tied to the head/camera, then you can only use the depth data in relation to the local user/camera frame. Good luck!
I’m keen to use the sensor in a mobile environment also
Sounds amazing. Do you have any pictures of this? I’m trying to visualize the end result and I’m not able to.
You should consider Astra mini both for the size and the fact that requires no disassembling. No difference from the API point of view.
