Joystick Visualizer

GitHub release Donate Discord

Show your stick and throttle movement as an overlay while streaming or recording videos.

This software will read buttons and axis input from supported devices and visualize them using 3D models on top of a flat colored background making it easy to apply chroma key and placing them as overlays using streaming software like OBS or XSplit

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.
