Jetson
A new course developed to use the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 board to use traditional game controller input as well as novel human computer interfaces to control games. The intent was to also exploit the massive parallel computation available in the GPU for image processing tasks.
The plan for the class is to have 6 or 7 labs followed by an open-ended group project. The planned labs are as follows:
- Build a USB game controller
- Develop firmware for the game controller
- Plug the game controller in to a Jetson TK1, and get it to control a video game, and expand the video game's functionality
- Use CUDA to add motion blur to the video game
- Use a webcam to capture video data from the user + CUDA to get gesture input
- Use gesture controls to add new human interactions
