Created an augmented reality game of chess where an Arduino Braccio mechanical arm interacted with virtual chess pieces
Used OpenCV with ArUco’s computer vision technology to detect and track cubes marked with ArUco markers and used OpenGL to project 3D chess pieces onto markers
Observed the effects of using higher definition cameras and how they changed the accuracy in marker detection
