User throws a projectile (Ping pong ball)
2 orthogonal CMOS camera modules
Triangulation, projectile path prediction
VGA projector output
Demo
Motivation
Hardware Design
Software Design
The software component of our project will
control the display to show the user where the
ball would hit the screen
Inputs: two 16-bit coordinates of where the ball
will hit
Output: A frame to the VGA core displaying the
position of the simulated collision
Biggest Challenge
Implementation of side camera – video decoder
chip on DE2 only supports one camera input
Analog multiplexer?
Second video decoder chip?
