Watch a Steam Controller Skitter Itself To Its Charge Puck

Hacks don’t have to be practical but it helps if they are educational or clever or amusing, as [Ray Foss] demonstrates with his auto-docking Steam Controller . It’s an open-source web application that combines a camera, a Steam Controller, and some clever software for the sole purpose of saving the user from the tyranny of having to manually set the controller onto its magnetic charging puck. Instead, one can simply lay the controller down nearby and let the computer do the rest of the work.
