Title: First trial: ideal distance Wiimote <-> size screen Post by: sts70nl on June 26, 2008, 04:42:20 AM Objective:
Have a rule of thumb to quickly setup the Wiimote for use with a beamer and whiteboard. Criteria: Consistent and very optimal tracking on a white board Assumption The more angles, the more skewed and the less optimal the tracking Setup: - no beamer (haven't got one to play around with) - real whiteboard - Wiimote - Boonjin's 0.2.2 beta - Living room (daylight) The Wiimote has a 90 degree angle on the whiteboard, however it is slightly angled upward (see picture attached). Procedure - Start the calibration procedure - Trial & error to find the maximum view of the Wiimote camera - Repeat until the maximum area is found Results
Observations:
Hypothesis The distance of the Wiimote to the whiteboard follows: d = 2*H Where (d) is the distance Wiimote to whiteboard, and (H) = projected height Question It would be very nice to get additional measurements as well to get a good rule of thumb. For instance, I couldn't use a beamer (was not required for I was looking for the maximum area) and my whiteboard isn't one of the largest so I could take only two measurements.

Title: Re: First trial: ideal distance Wiimote <-> size screen Post by: mystre on March 15, 2009, 07:56:07 AM I'm training a couple of our IT guys to set up wiimote IWB in other schools, and wanted to give them a starting point when they setup the wiimotes. This is an image of the what I came up with. Are these starting points fairly reasonable?
