| # FPS Game Somatosensory Enhancement Gun Controller ## Team Members: - Peilin He (peilinh2) - Beining Chen (Beining4) - Haochen Zhang (Hz39) # Problem The functions of video game controllers nowadays are very limited to the gaming machine, and are mostly in the form of joy-stick or controller. Playing shooting games on PC with a mouse or joystick can lower a gamer's gaming experience and make gaming a less realistic experience.. Especially when VR games slowly occupy the video game market,a non-traditional controller, or a somatosensory enhancement gun-shaped controller is necessary. # Solution The solution is to introduce the use of Somatosensory Enhancement accessories. A Somatosensory Enhancement shooting controller can make shooting video games more realistic and interactive. We plan to build a gun-shaped shooting controller that could simulate target aiming, gun recoil, reload bullets, and potentially flash bomb and smoke bomb. # Solution Components ## Subsystem 1: Processor We will use a PIC32 microcontroller to handle memory allocation for the cache. It can also communicate with the Wifi chip to transfer data. https://www.mouser.com/new/microchip/microchip_pic32/ ## Subsystem 2: Wireless connection First of all, our design regarding a gun-model video game controller is not only limited to video games. It could also accomplish the function of a mouse which could control the cursor. Therefore, a wireless connection such as bluetooth is needed. ### Wireless Connection parts: ESP32-PICO-D4 Espressif Systems ESP32 PICO module. https://www.gridconnect.com/products/esp32-pico-d4-espressif-systems-esp32-pico-module?variant=9740028510244&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+Desktop&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=7986939350&hsa_cam=18566303751&hsa_grp=147887861968&hsa_ad=627525968785&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=pla-2078855464952&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=Cj0KCQiAw8OeBhCeARIsAGxWtUwmVoJj798qb5FMj6avdIXGO-ydMxWrTO9nwvRTR41JAaAWuykQRAQaAodcEALw_wcB DROK 12V Audio Receiver Blue~Tooth Module DC 5V-12V Portable Wire~Less Electronics Stereo Music Receive Circuit Chip https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-DROK-Receiver-Electronics-Headphone/dp/B07P94Z9XR/ref=sr_1_5?crid=25GB25DVFXH3E&keywords=bluetooth%2Bchip&qid=1674762910&sprefix=bluetooth%2Bchip%2B%2Caps%2C365&sr=8-5&th=1 ## Subsystem 3: Motion detection Motion detector Use gyroscope somatosensory to control the computer cursor.

We can use a motor vibration part to achieve this. We will be using a 308-100 8mm vibration motor to mount on our PCB. https://www.precisionmicrodrives.com/ab-006 ## Subsystem 5: Power This subsystem will supply power to the rest of the sub-system. It contains a battery and a USB charger. If available batteries can not provide enough power, we will choose to use external power supplies. # Criterion For Success Our solution should be easily accessible from any computer with bluetooth. Our gun controller should function as a cursor that accurately reflects the aiming point on the screen.In FPS video games, physically turning the aiming point left and right will turn the player's angle of view left and right with according degree. During a game, pulling the trigger on the gun controller will give the player physical shaking action to simulate gun recoil. Also, pulling the bolt will complete a bullet reload in the game. # Anticipated Difficulties Our anticipated difficulties revolve around connecting bluetooth from our device to a PC which can accurately reflect real time cursor position and functions similar to a mouse. Precisely connecting the gun controller with motion detector and gravity sensor to calculate screen coordinate to reflect cursor position is expected to take a long time implementing and debugging.
