Interesting Wiimote project
Posted by Ryan Sarver under: Programming; Technology .
Its always interesting to see what happens when smart people have too much time on their hands — also known as academics.
Johnny Lee, a Ph.D graduate student at Carnegie Mellon, has developed a series of studies around IR tracking using off the shelf Wii hardware. Its incredible to see what he has come up with using some basic hardware and custom code he has written to receive information from the Wiimote. It’s great to see a company like Nintendo make such advanced hardware available to the general market for really low prices as it helps make projects like this a reality.
Watch the videos — be sure to check out the VR display: http://www.cs.water filtercmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/
