More Wiimote Hacks - Head Tracking Hack PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 22 December 2007

donut_face.jpg This guy just doesn't know when to stop. Johnny Chung Lee graces us with yet another one of his inventive Wiimote projects. This time, it involves using the Wii-mote and a pair of inexpensive LED safety goggles (with the standard LED's replaced with InfraRed ones) to allow positional head tracking, achieving an effect similar to what is experienced with three dimensional displays and CAVE systems. The video dramatically illustrates the effect. Game developers take note. This simple little variation on infrared tracking could allow for some seriously immersive gameplay in the future.

Hi All,

You have to be kidding. I'll buy an XBox, run Linux, and a video camera.

Wow!

I'll then do hacks like this. Meanwhile, doing other things.

maybe a $20 wiimote and a pair of goggles you can throw together for under $10 is cheaper and more elegant than an xbox, putting linux on it (the reasons for which you haven't made apparent) and a video camera. Looking at your url, it seems you love linux merely because you hate everything else. That's really not what's going on here anyway so I'm a tad confused....
