Reality Fusion GameCam from 1999 - LGR Oddware

Before the PS2 EyeToy, before Microsoft Kinect, there was Game Cam! Built in 1999 in partnership with Logitech, this webcam setup was at the forefront in terms of bringing computer vision and gesture-controlled gaming home to the masses. You may have even owned a PC camera or two that had some of this capability bundled with it in the early 2000s whether you used it or not! Hobo: It's the Microsoft Kinect for Windows 98. It looks like it was just as responsive and immersive as the Kinect which was released over a decade later. It's still hard to believe how long it took for the industry to realize that motion controls are a terrible idea, and that pushing a button is better/easier than flailing around in front if a camera.

I was hoping you'd make a vid on this after seeing it in the background of one of the mouse videos.
Software seems almost like if Vtube Studio was made in the 90s with specific hardware in mind rather than working with any run of the mill webcam. Pretty ahead of its time indeed.

Clint, I saw on twitter today there was someone in Australia who successfully installed Doom on his tractor. Thought you might be interested. Possibly you can experiment to see how many other different kinds of farm equipment can play Doom.

16: 00 this sequence can not be unseen. It is etched into my retina's. Especially when you pick up the tripod and start attacking the ' baby you ' / Samurai warrior approximation of you. Almost wet my pants laughing.

I hope you're all settled in your new home! Happy to see more new content! I wouldn't mind a tour of the place if/when you have everything laid out the way you want it. I knew you mentioned it'd be a long process.

5: 56 - Super-badass to have an interactive 360 image from ANY year in the 1990 s. Thank you, LGR, for always thoroughly researching every aspect of the topics on which you speak.

You mentioned its one of your top three holy grail items, you should make a video on your holy grail items, never know, someone might have them laying around in a box.

Ah the 90s where tech was talked about at a table by a vague Putinesque looking dude and a cheap Jerry Seinfeld knock off wearing shirts several sizes too big.

Do you ever give tours of your collection? My boys are big gaming/computer retro fans and would be cool to show them how we had it back in the day.

and now you can do similar actions on your phone for the low low cost of not reading the permissions and selling all your personal data.

Advanced for its time, and of course led to our time. Good to see where it began (well, if not where it began, how the path to the present went)

It came with a Lens Cover?
Man why didn't all webcams and Laptops come with Camera Covers and save them from sticky tape residue.

Nick Arcade! I was struggling to remember the name of that show! Man I was fascinated by that show but looking back, it looked so awkward.
reply

I refuse to believe that anyone watching that Computer Chronicles episode thought this actually looked good, even if it was 1999.
