Joystick Visualizer

Joystick Visualizer is a super cool open-source app that lets streamers and content creators show off their controllers or mouse and keyboard while gaming. Instead of just pointing a camera at your hands, you can create a real-time 3D model of your joystick! How awesome is that? It supports several popular devices, and you even get detailed documentation to help you set it up.

Getting Started with Joystick Visualizer

Once you download and unpack the archive, you'll find two executable files in the folder. One is the Joystick Proxy utility; this is where you can pick which devices you want to use. The other file is the Joystick Visualizer app that generates those neat 3D models.

Using Overlays for Streaming

The models appear on a flat colored background. This setup allows you to apply a chroma key, letting you use them as overlays in streaming software like OBS or XSplit. Once everything's configured, any movements from your joystick will be shown in real-time, and you can position the overlay anywhere on your screen!

Helpful Resources

While there's no local documentation right inside the app, don't worry! The developer has created a handy configuration guide on the project's GitHub page. It's definitely worth checking out before diving into using the software. Plus, they have a list of compatible devices available there too.
