Would it be possible to have a camera that was relatively invisible & didn’t look like a “rig”?
I think if there was any factory camera option, it would be a kit instead of included with every game. Only a handful of people stream pinball.
Quoted from Anony:I've played that dart arcade game where you watch your opponent live as you played, it was very cool and I didn't even consider the impact it had on potential cheaters.
Here's another use for cameras. What if they can track the ball so the game knows at all times where it is? You could do some pretty unique things with that like rollover targets that don't need a physical switch, or trigger things based on the exact path the ball follows. I've noticed that you can sometimes cheese certain modes since the game only knows where the ball is based on what switches are being hit. A fully tracked ball could open up some doors to prevent that and do other cool things.
That’s what P3 Multimorphic does. Not with cameras, tho. But it has ball tracking so there can be interactive elements with the screen playfield.
