Thoughts on Augmented Reality?

[Stephen of REX]

Does anyone know where to find an (affordable) eyepiece? I've been wanting to make a HUD to augment my vision with time left in match and battery levels. I would just run the same screen as the laptop we are getting in the KOP.

I believe there were teams who did break down the images from the camera this year to send back to their dashboard. It was pretty awesome. This year for bacon though we had LEDs on a PVC pipe (so that the operator could see them without having to look away) and they signaled when 1) the camera could see any particle 2) when the particle was centered 3) when our rpm on the shooter was at the appropriate speed to fire (the camera gave us an estimated distance to the target using the size of the particle, and we had an equation for distance to rpms). It worked fairly well, and was a fairly simple solution to impliment.

through my research i think the most affordable eyepiece would be buying glasses with two displays and cutting it in half

I believe Frog Force has a set up such as this already actually. We played a match with them in Archimedes and they had wired up colored LED's to a pair of safety glasses that the driver wore. Every time a certain event happened on the field (i.e. camera lock, shooting...), one of the lights would turn on. I forget what exactly the lights meant, but it seemed to work out quite well for them
