Multi-touch and Head-tracking demos wth PC and Wiimote

[JennyB]

This is a really neat bit of inverted thinking.

The Wii Remote tracks its position in space relative to fixed points of IR light. Johnny Chung Lee demonstrates how a fixed Wiimote can track up to four points simultaneously, adding multitouch or head-tracking capabilities cheaply to any PC display.

Demos with open C# source code and plenty of scope for further development.

Sounds cool, Jenny  You forgot the link, though

Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing. Now if only I had a Wii.

You don't need the console itself, just a PC with Bluetooth and the Wiimote, which es a bit  easier to find at present!

Wow wow wow, got to start playing around with that, I's really cool.

So I'd seen the first two videos months ago and thought they were kind of cool but not all that great. But tonight I just saw the head-tracking video for the first time.

WOW! That is impressive!

I think artists like Nudone may be interested in the Whiteboard capabilities --> Turn your wall into a virtual canvas.

Or with head-tracking you could even turn your wall into a virtual window. Find a nice live feed of a beach in the tropics and get the image set up to work with this software...
