UPDATED = Feb 2008 -=20 Laser Tag 2.002 Release

Alright finally - it is here. Laser Tag 2.0 Mac and PC = version.=20
Thanks for being so patient - a lot of time and work has gone into = making=20 Laser Tag 2.0 super nice, super dope and super easy to use. NOTE: To see = a video=20 of the first version of this system in use check it out=20 here

Credits:
Laser Tag 2.0 is a Graffiti Research Lab = project and is=20 written by Theodore Watson and Zachary Lieberman using openFrameworks. It may be used = free of=20 charge as long as it is not used for marketing, advertising or promotion = and=20 especially not for lame=20 guerrilla marketing events!

Some new features:
- 4 = main=20 brush modes - each with their own qualities and different brush = types.
- You=20 can design your own brushes by making png files.
- If you want to = code your=20 own brushes there is a super simple system for that too.
- Built in = music=20 player for playing your party jams while Laser Tagging.
- Network = connection=20 for sending the laser tag data to flash, Processing, openFrameworks, Max = / Msp=20 etc.
- Color! - editable color xml file - add up to fifty brush = colors -=20 works with all brushes.

The equipment:
Here is the = essential=20 equipment you will need for your Laser Tag system.
1x fast laptop = (PC or=20 Mac) that can connect to an external monitor. It helps if the laptop has = a=20 dedicated graphics card, so a Macbook Pro would be preferable to a = Macbook for=20 this reason (though macbooks seem to run it just fine!).
1x video = camera=20 that you can connect to your laptop. Video cameras that have manual = controls=20 tend to be a lot better at tracking the laser than ones that = automatically=20 adjust the image depending on how bright it is.
1x projector. = Anything over=20 2000 lumens should be good. 1x laser pointer between 5mW and 80mW in=20 power.

For this setup we are using a Asus F9S laptop with a = Logitech=20 Messenger camera, a Benq 2500 lumens projector and a 70mW green laser = pointer.=20 This is fine for a small setup but for larger scales you will need a = brighter=20 projector and a better camera.

=20

Setting up the projector.

PC - The Laser Tag = software=20 is setup to work with the projector acting as an extended desktop to = your=20 laptop's main display. If you have a PC laptop and an NVIDIA graphics = card you=20 need to set your display to use horizontal span mode (or extended = desktop) and=20 set the total display dimensions to 2048 by 768. If you don't have = horizontal=20 span look into Realtime Soft's Ultramon which works with all graphics=20 cards.

Mac users will need to setup the projector to be to the = right of=20 their Desktop and then launch the Laser Tag app, type Command-',' and = then check=20 the box that says 'use extended desktop'. Once this is done quit the = application=20 and the settings will be saved to your preferences. Set both your = laptop's=20 display and the projector to 1024 768 and you should be ready to=20 go

High Res Guide:
=

Setting up the camera

To effectively track the laser we = need to=20 disable the camera's Auto White Balance, Auto Exposure and Backlight=20 Compensation. In the Laser Tag software hit the 'C' key to bring up the = camera=20 settings box. Go through the settings box and set as much as possible to = manual.

Projector alignment:

Now we are ready to align the camera and the = projector.=20 Run the Laser Tag software and hit the 'F' key to enter fullscreen. Now = hit the=20 spacebar to show the edges of the projection area. With your mouse drag = the=20 corners of the white projection quad so it fits onto the surface you are = projecting onto. Hit the 'S' key to save your settings.

Camera = alignment:

In the top left corner you can see the video = panel of the=20 camera. Make sure that the camera is covering the whole projection area = and is=20 in focus. If you can see the four corners of the projection quad with = the camera=20 then just drag each corner of the yellow camera quad so they line up. If = the=20 camera image is too dark to see the corners of the projection quad then = have a=20 friend beam the laser at each corner and drag the corners of the camera = quad=20 that way. Hit the 'S' key to save your settings.

Tracking the=20 laser:

In 'Tracking settings' start off with saturation = at 0. See=20 if you can distinguish the laser just by adjusting the brightness = (value)=20 threshold alone. Note: Reducing the brightness in the camera settings = (see step=20 3) to the point where only the laser is visible can make the this step = much=20 easier. If you are still seeing a lot of white noise in the tracking = panel try=20 using the 'Sat Threshold' to track by colour as well. Hit the 'S' key to = save=20 your settings.

At this point adjusting your camera settings to = make the=20 image as dark as possible but the laser still bright will make tracking = a lot=20 easier. Notice how in the above image the laser is isolated from the = projected=20 image even though the camera can see the projected = 'paint'.

Testing=20 the setup
=20

If everything goes well you should be able to now tag with = the Laser=20 Tag software. When you are tagging the projected 'paint' should always = appear to=20 come from the location of the laser point if it doesn't try to re-align = the=20 camera to the projection area. If the tracking seems 'jerky' try = adjusting the=20 tracking settings till the motion
seems nice and smooth. =

Clearing=20 the image:
You can always hit the 'D' key to clear the projection = manually but it is more convenient to set up an area as a button that = clears the=20 projection when hit with the laser. You can enable the clear zone in = 'Clear zone=20 settings'. The clear zone shows up as a red box in the video panel. = Adjust the=20 x, y, width and height properties to position it somewhere outside of = the=20 projection area.

Drawing settings
'Brush mode' allow = you to=20 change the type of brush you use. There are four basic brushes: The = pngBrush,=20 the graffLetters brush, the vector brush and the gesture brush. The = pngBrush=20 uses user created png files to draw with. Use 'Which brush image' to = switch the=20 image used and 'Brush color' to change the drawing colour. You can add = your own=20 png brushes to the app by saving them to the data/brushes/ folder and = you can=20 edit the /data/settings/colors.xml file to add colors. The vector brush = also has=20 a bunch of different styles - check the fat style bellow.

=20

Drips mode
For ultimate realism enable drips in = the 'Drips=20 settings' to make drips come down from your tag as you are writing. You = can also=20 adjust how drippy and the speed of the drips with the other drip = settings. Have=20 fun!

Notes and tips:
For details about the all the = settings=20 check the guides which explain in more detail:
Brush=20 Settings Guide (jpg)
Tracking=20 Settings Guide (jpg)
Clear=20 Zone Settings Guide (jpg)
Network=20 Settings Guide (jpg)

Enya,

Thought I would chime in and answer some of your=20 questions

Only run the Laser Tag 2.0 PC App (exe). It doesn't = install but=20 just runs from the folder location that you downloaded and unzipped it=20 to.

You will need to plug in a second projector or monitor to = make sure=20 it works. You have options when it comes to connecting the projector to = your=20 computer. The best for quality is by a vga or dvi connection, if your = video card=20 has a second monitor output. Another option is if your video card has an = s-video=20 output, then plug it in to a projectors s-video input. If your video = card has=20 the option for horizontial span, select it.

-No Horizontial Span = Setting-
Use UltraMon to get a the proper horizontial span and in = your=20 taskbar settings, select "Auto-hide the Taskbar".

Look through = The first=20 laser graffiti comments for UltralMon help and using Amcap to test your = camera=20 input on your computer. If you don't have a webcam you can get a cheap = usb video=20 capture device off ebay and use it for any camera, such as a cctv or = handycam=20 type. Search for ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0, it's the same one I use and it = only cost=20 about 10 dollars.

You can install it on a desktop pc, mine is a = Dell 3ghz=20 that I have in my van.

If you don't have all of the equipment = required,=20 my advice would be to borrow what you can first before buying the = required=20 components. This way you know it will work.

Good luck, I will = check back=20 here if you have any other questions.

Theo might have some more = advice=20 for you, since he is the master.

it really depends how much ambient light is on the building - = what color=20 the building is and how big you are projecting. you should also keep in = mind the=20 lens ratio of the projector. a standard lens is somewhere between 1:1.5 = and=20 1:2.0.

If the building is not lit very much by = surrounding=20 lights and the surface is a lightish color then you would probably want=20 something between 3000-5000 lumens (to look good) 2000 might work as = well but it=20 might not really stand out to well.

The other thing you = can do=20 is go to Developer/Tools/Utilities/CrashReporterPrefs.app and set your = mode to=20 Developer - this will tell you why Laser Tag is crashing.

If you = need to=20 install xcode you can download it from apple's developer's site. = bugmenot.com=20 can give you hassle free access.

So I got the system to work except for 2 details;

1) FPS = is way=20 too low (LaserTag side of things, camera keeps at 30FPS).
2) I cannot = access=20 camera settings from the program. Windows causes an error everytime. I = cannot=20 find how to edit the camera\'s settings anywhere else on the computer = (although=20 the camera readme says you can adjust settings, just not HOW to adjust=20 settings.)

Any tips? OR some generic software that can help = change camera=20 settings?

Thanks again. Great program and work, love v.2.=20

yeah it looks like the camera is set to have an auto exposure - = which=20 slows down the cameras framerate to get more light into the camera. you = should=20 be able to turn this off with the settings but if the 'c' key is not = working=20 then you can try changing the settings in a program called AmCap which = is a free=20 download or in the logitech software itself. - You basically want the = exposure=20 to be on manual and aprox 1/60 1/90 - also turn off all other auto = features of=20 the camera.

I am going to test the app on my pc - I might have to = update=20 the videocapture library for the camera setting issue.

hope that = helps -=20 theo=20

New versions of Laser Tag up - OS X and XP / Vista.

On Mac now using fast = openCV=20 Library - should be a lot faster.

I=20 like to project on a 15mx10m screen. So the projector will be at a 30 = meter=20 distance.
What power laser should I use?
Since I letting public = use the=20 laser, i'm trying to go as less powerfull as possible.

And what = kind of=20 camera? My guess is a webcam isnt gonna do the trick on this scale. Is a = consumer digital camera gonna work (Finepix E550)?
What about a = camcorder=20 like a Sony HDR-SR1?=20

Well we used a Watec 231s with a wide zoom manual iris lens and = a usb=20 capture card. The Watec has very low signal to noise and you can turn = off all=20 the auto adjust features. When you get that setup correctly you can run = laser=20 tag on quite large buildings.

Firewire should=20 work but might be slow as you will be capturing at 720 540 which is a = lot of=20 pixels to process. If you can capture at 320 240 with firewire it should = be=20 fine.

Anyway = I=20 should have mentioned this but TCP Laser Tag is a server - so you have = to=20 initiate a connection to it by having your client connect to the = machines IP=20 address (the machine running LT) - therefore you don't even need to set = the IP=20 address in Laser Tag for TCP (only UDP) as when the client connects the = server=20 initiates a new TCP connection between the client and server.

You = only=20 actually need to set the IP address if LT is in UDP mode as then it will = send=20 UDP packets to the IP address and Port specified.

If you still = have=20 issues - also check your firewall - that can cause problems=20 too.
