Hello again. Since I started here when I got on my work with Wii Remotes, this will be also the place to post back some results. Namely, I've researched several things that we can do with Wii Remote and documented it:
-
Orientation determination, using the accelerometer
-
Point tracking and approximation (extends the Wii Remote's FOV) for up to four points
- Four modes of pointing, of which
one points you the exact place on the screen that you have pointed from the real world.
- Hedtracking with
one or
two cams + estimation of eye position in space, based on given interpupillary distance and some more geometrical data.
- Some more stuff that will be revealed later. I think I didn't see somebody propose this before.
I've also built a library on top of WiiYourself! library, that I hope to release for public within this month. What I'd expect to get back is some feedback on how it can be made better. Unfortunately, I do not posses any Wii Remote anymore, so I will be limited in performing changes until this product become widely available.
The library is named Wiitech, but shall it coincide with another product, I will make an effort to choose more original name.
So, here are few videos, that I prepared while I still had Wii Remotes:
