Hilo: The Mexican Standoff - Creating a Hyperreality

So here is an update on where we are with the The Mexican Standoff

I have hacked the Star Wars Force Trainer

http://hackaday.com/tag/uncle-miltons-force-trainer/

I had some trouble with the serial hack, but i will just grab the signal via an Arduino into max or processing and send a key command to Counter Strike.

I also have a Mindset from Neurosky which uses the same chip as is in the force trainer.

I have uploaded the dev kit on my site for the next couple of weeks if anyone wants to see how to use it with their development kit.  I have it working in processing but there are other ways to do it that give better data...

Onur is building some great maps and mods in counter strike which will work perfectly!

Mar said he has a way to send a key command to counter strike so we are pretty much ready to workshop!

Can't wait to get it all working together and kill you all with my mind.

See you next week.

Re: The Mexican Standoff - Creating a Hyperreality

Hello all,

I'm currently building some maps for the project, both indoors and outdoors.

Also trying to understand / arrange a good spawn position and condition with a proper gun + armor -- so it'll take some time to kill your opponent

which means you have to keep your concentration level steady for longer period of time.

so after i complete some stuff I'll also post some screenshots or pictures.

have fun and see you in february.

Re: The Mexican Standoff - Creating a Hyperreality

Hello,

I am Ramon, I am Electrical Engineer and I signed up for this project because I am interested in using these EEG sensors you suggested. Now, I am not sure if I can help out with something that is not done yet. If there is something related to electronics or programming, maybe I can have a look meanwhile.

I do not if I got the idea. This project will integrated the use of the mindset into counterstrike or into another game?

Ramon.
