Hi,

This is a cool project that enables you to play the Atari 2600 tennis using a real racket. Yes, yes, a real one! (no joystick)

The project was done using Python and OpenCV.

This project can be run both: on Windows with emulator, and on original Atari 2600 console using a Raspberry Pi.

Pretty cool!

The link for the video is: https://youtu.be/vbd0ShdMqYE

I also uploaded another video which is a full tutorial for building it as DIY. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/aC1wpUheq8Y

I also can connect it to an original Atari. Look at this link:  https://youtu.be/vJO6nMwUBXw

Enjoy
