How the System works
Hard- and Software
The interactiveSQUASH System combines infra-red sensor systems, motion-tracking and projector technology to locate player and detect balls.
The interactiveSQUASH system knows at all times where the Player is positioned and where the Ball hits the wall, allowing for a multitude of Gaming & Training possibilities. The infra-red sensor bars detect the ball when close to the wall. Another detailed positioning of the ball is done with a camera in the iBox using infra red light. The PC calculates the position and gives the input to the application. The projector projects the image of the application back to the front wall. The other cameras are used to record video and detect the players position what will be used on new applications to be released soon.
