NI LabVIEW Claw Demo at NIWeek 2012

[G-Money]

The NI LabVIEW Claw Demo is a modern take on the classic claw arcade game. Engineers retrofitted a 25 year old claw machine to be controlled with LabVIEW and a dual-core NI CompactRIO device running Windows. Instead of using a joystick, attendees can control the demo using an iPad running the new Data Dashboard iPad app (out on the iTunes App Store later this fall). To help the player increase their chances of winning, there are two cameras mounted at the top of the machine, plus the CompactRIO device uses stereoscopic algorithms to determine and highlight the topmost item. Come try your luck at the claw machine in the LabVIEW Zone during NIWeek!
