The Idea...

Ok,

So I wanted to make something cool for Studio III that I can later develop further and perhaps commercialize...or more importantly get a job. Anyways, I fell upon the idea of "Conductor Hero", a fully interactive and accurate Conducting game, where you can conduct your favorite compositions from beethoven to Rachmaninoff.

The first idea i wanted to include was the concept of head-tracking, using a wiimote and two IR LED's to track the players head. This way the player can look at different parts of their orchestra and it also adds more realism to the game.

The second major idea was to include a curved screen for projection, this way it will compliment the head-tracking component.

finally, the gesture recognition for the Conducting itself, using the same wiimote as for the head-tracking, I can track a modified Conductors Baton's movements and record and analyze the users gestures.

I do not expect to have a 100% complete, rich graphic game. But I do intend to have the curved screen with head-tracking working, as well as some basic gesture recognition, this will get my concept across and hopefully lead to some special topics or similar.

and it begins...
