"High Stakes" is a game of Seven-Card Stud Poker that will be a fun and interactive experience for players.

What will make this stand out from all the other Poker videogames out there is the emphasis on a physical interaction as well as competition against smart, reactive opponents. The plan is to use both Nintendo's Wiimote and NaturaPoint's TrackIR head tracker for control to play against responsive, motion captured avatars for a truly immersive poker playing experience.

Wiimote interaction

  • The sensor bar is not needed for the current control scheme. All motion detection is done using the accelerometer and gyroscope.
  • To determine the boundaries of any given action movement, the debug in the GlovePie script was set to output the x, y and z values of the accelerometer and gyroscope values and pause long enough to write down values. Then tested against new boundaries if a value was too far off in the wrong direction.
  • The boundaries are set in such a way so that a horizontal movement won’t be mistaken for a vertical movement as speed increases and vice versa.
