Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University.

    Johnny,you are a genius.I am going to get the kids to have a go at one of these next weekend.Just one question.How do you connect the Wii mote to the laptop ?.Excellent stuff :-)

    Great application. I'm guessing that this technology is well known about and probably patented somewhere? My idea is... I wonder if this could be applied by tracking the distance between the pupils (rather than IR emmiters) use the red eye effect by bouncing lasers of the retina to track the head. Safely of course. could this also be applied in desktop manipulation for example.

    That is awesome. That's the next generation wii console right there. I don't know why nintendo couldn't have come up with that as part of the wii, it's a really simple concept.

  16. Edmonda Says:
    True but maybe this that first step towards the holodeck lol
  17. Terrell Says:
    idea.. what if you used the projector calibration technology to recognize faces somehow.. or maybe just a camera and some facial recognition software to see where your face is at all times, thus relieving one of the need for infrared 'headlights'? i'm definitely not the only one to think of this.. in the future i imagine our houses and public environments will recognize our faces everywhere at all times, and float holograms in front of us or beside us always. that will be cool.

    problem is you woudn't be able to run very far forward becuase you wuld just hit the tv screen.

  21. Hawly Says:
    This would be awesome on a stage shooter game like time crisis or something.
  22. WINFIELD Says:
    with bluetooth,it's quite easy if you pc has bluetooth built in or a bluetooth dongle you just connect as you would with the Wii. when you try connecting though make sure your wii is turned off.
