Test of new algorithm to optically track a PlayStation Move motion controller in three dimensions using a standard color webcam (or PlayStation Eye camera).
The algorithm is based on blob extraction, and fitting a cone with apex at the camera's center of projection to the boundary of the extracted blob to envelop the PS Move's glowing sphere.
Cone fitting appears to have low noise, and be robust against occlusion.
