Setting it up

Start the Software

• Start JoystickProxy.exe, you will see a list of found devices. If your device is in the Supported Devices list but does not show, check the "Show all devices" checkbox and contact me so that we can figure out what the issue is.

• Start JoystickVisualizer.exe, select your resolution and make sure to run in Windowed Mode

Your devices should show up in the Visualizer when you start moving them

Configure OBS

1. In OBS add a Window Capture source, give it a useful name like "Joystick Visualizer"

2. Make sure you select JoystickVisualizer.exe and you can also uncheck "Capture Cursor"

3. Right click on the Source you just created and select Filters

4. By clicking the + in the bottom left, add a Color Key filter. Change the Key Color Type to Custom Color

5. Click Select color and enter #1e3d5d in the HTML field

6. Save and close the filter settings and you should have an overlay with transparent background to move around your Scene

Controlling the camera

The camera in the Visualizer can be moved around by right-clicking and dragging, and the view can be zoomed using the mouse wheel.

There are also three camera presets that can be accessed with the 1, 2 and 3 keys on the keyboard.

Credits

The Visualizer was created in Unity3D, and the Proxy is a normal C# application that is using the SharpDX library for capturing the USB controllers.
