PS3 Head Tracker

Photo of a man in an electric wheelchair, playing a baseball PS3 game, using just his head-movements and the press of a single button.

Switch accessible Arduino has a PIC bitwacker USB host that gets plugged into the PS3 console and emulates a PS3 controller.

Screen shot of assistive technology set-up for PS3 control using a head-tracker and one-switch.

I've been slow in reposting this amazing creation that I first learnt about at The Controller Project site. It enables the user, Steve, to play PS3 games using a head-tracker and a single switch. The later iteration takes the PC screen and mixes it with the PS3 output. Brilliant! One day we'll see this as a standard console/computer option for games.
