Vehicle Motion Tracking in Motioncube
Using a real vehicle to control virtual content
Track a remote-controlled robot or car on the interactive surface and map its movement to app logic. As the vehicle moves, the app can trigger effects, missions and animations in the projection area.

What makes RC vehicle interaction attractive
Vehicle motion can be tracked to create tangible, physical computing scenarios on interactive floors.
Combine a virtual mission board with a real vehicle so users can complete tasks with immediate visual feedback.
Vehicle movement across the board can trigger animations, effects and progression, creating a strong link between real motion and virtual outcomes.
Examples of RC vehicles that can be tracked
Interactive robots
Interactive robots that are controlled by dedicated mobile applications
Remote controlled toys
Cars that are controlled with remote controls or pads
Vehicle Motion Tracking
How it works in Motioncube
The vehicle motion detection and tracking is realized similarly to body motion detection, with a camera mounted above the interaction surface.
It is dedicated for a single remote-controlled vehicle on the projection surface.
The system analyzes the vehicle movement and its location on the board.
Motioncube does not communicate with or control the vehicle on the floor in any way. The vehicle is steered by a remote control or a dedicated mobile app.
Examples of RC vehicles that can be used for interaction
- Codey Rocky
- Photon
- Robot Dash
- Lofi Robot
- Contixo Robot
- All remote-controlled robots
Apps for RC vehicle interaction
Vehicle interaction enables gameplay with real heroes on the board. Users steer a robot or car from a dedicated pad or mobile app while the projection responds in real time.
This can support robotics and coding education by turning missions into hands-on tasks. Combining a real object with virtual elements creates a strong, intuitive learning loop.
