Wireless Head Tracking Gimbal Project

Overview


This project involves developing a headset that wirelessly controls the orientation/attitude of a camera attached to a gimbal. Essentially, the camera attached to the gimbal adjusts its orientation to always match the orientation of the headset. Thus, a person wearing the headset can remotely control the orientation of the camera. One of the intended applications is it's use in video conferencing (e.g. Skype calls) allowing the user to remotely move the camera on the other end and look around. Download Source Code (.zip file)
