Tracking fingers with the Wii Remote

Back




Using an IR led array and some reflective tape, you can track fingers in thin air using the Wii Remote by Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University. The grid software is a custom program written using a C# wiimote library and DirectX. More information about the grid software can be found at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/

Very interesting, even if some of the materials required were a bit obscure. Very well narrated, and very well explained. I feel I understand how the Wiimote works much better now.

Could anybody tell me what he's saying at 1:20? I think it starts with "...but you can make something sufficient blablabla"... what's the full sentence? Spanish guy here, with sorta crappy english listening, sorry xD I'm trying to get that sexy wiimote thingy done, just missing the LED array, and looks like in that part of the vid he says where to get one. Thanks for the help.

this doesnt use the wii... It does use a wiimote though... You could get away with an IR camera but you'd have to source that and somehow get it to work properly...

Youre exactly right, according to the field of human psychology.
