I tried using Johnny Lee's . I'm having trouble with the radius, but that's an issue of me and my wiimote, not the program; the program works beautifully.
As far as blobs with a webcam go, I've tried . It picks up blobs and shadow blobs perfectly. I also discovered that my hubby's webcam can pick up the ir pen with this without removing the ir filter or making a custom light blocker from exposed film. I'm not a programmer though, so making the blobs read as generic (mouse) input is beyond me.
I've been thinking about the dual projector/webcam idea some. It could work with projected images on the distance player side and if their webcam only sent back ir data then they could move their own figure essentially that way.
I've thought about if they projected the whole image back instead of just an ir dot (which would make callibration for my side easier), but I'm a little worried about amplified light.
I like the idea of displaying the player's face. We could use skype and an extra computer on each end and let the player be a talking head on a laptop screen. Very Max Headroom.
