Inspiration
There was so much cool hardware to hack with, that we wanted to try all of it! This project combines the Oculus, Roomba, and Kinect into what we think is a really fun experience. Also Google DeepDream is wild.
What it does
Use an Xbox One controller to drive around a Roomba. A Kinect is strapped to the Roomba and streams point clouds to DeepDream. The Kinect point cloud is passed through several iterations of DeepDream, leading to a psychedelic effect, before being sent to your Oculus VR.
How we built it
Most robot interconnectivity is handled by ROS (Roomba, Oculus, Kinect). DeepDream runs on our CUDA-enabled laptop.
Challenges we ran into
Installer CUDA Installing Oculus SDK Connecting Kinect to Oculus with Rviz
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting everything installed in 12 hours.
What we learned
Mostly how to install software toolkits.
