I am an artist. and I want to make a installation, multimedia work, I want to use the wii and make the statement that hacking existing hardware makes art. I wanto to include music, visual I have 2 wii a mac and a win xp laptop. the work that I want to make is in this line.
wii capture motion and makes music ( people moving around and making music) second wii sends data for visualizacion to project on a wall. software to use by preference open source.
I will credit all collaborators .
so who want to be an artist and do something new and or un-expected of a wii......
for example. use the same for the whiteboard but make to be like a tablet. I tryed to add a wiimote to and end of a board then project to that board and calibrate it as a whitboard. then move around and play with it. the problem is that the wiimote needs to be a bit far away. moving closer the wii make the calibration dificult using a projector.
hi all I have learn today that the best LED for the pens are. from mouser.com
part number are 782-tsal6200
only .21 per unit
I have tried several LEDs the radio shack are very weak and no great for the pen. I had so much frustration with rs LED stay away if you can. the Jim-pack brand are as bad for Led pen as Radioshack ones.
after using the vishay my Led pen works just amazing. tracking is even great at a projection on a wall up to 4 by 6 feet . the wii set 10 feet from the wall.
my advice is get the rgiht LEDs and you will save a lot.
I have posted several q?. however no help recieve.d for all you that have problems with the radioshack LED they are actually good. I have mine with a 1 aa bat. non resistor the problem with them is that they spread light so I add a plastic cap to consentrate the light and now I am getting tracking much much better see the pics with and wihtout the cap.
is IR and IRD the same. I found at a local electronic stores this Led but I am not shure if there is a difference or if I can use them for making the Ir pen.
Hi, after 4 points calibration and moving to seral points the wiimote. I get the problem that the mouse is offplace ex. If I am using a drawing program the lines show up but few inches a way from the Led pen point. if I change wiimote of location or angel still have the same issue. the line is ether few inches up , down or left or right. what ever I do I can not get the lines on the pen point. any help ..
