This infrared positioning camera can be controlled with Arduino, AVR via I2C interface. It is able to track mobile infrared points and transmit the data back to the host. The horizontal angle of the camera is 33 degrees while the vertical angle is 23 degrees. It returns up to four points at a time when identifies an object. With advantages of high resolution, high sensitivity, high accuracy, small build and lightweight, this Positioning IR Camera can be widely used in robot automatic search, robot soccer games, mobile trajectory recognition.
What's more, this IR Camera can be used in making a low-cost electronic whiteboard, touch screen and virtual reality headset, as seen in Johnny Lee's
TED presentation about cheap Wii remote hacks. For more details, you can check his
blog.
Warning: Make sure the user knows about the power supply either directly on the sticker on the module or/and in the manual.
