Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

Back


Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University.

THIS IS SO AWESOME! Its so much better than another plan for 3d gaming where you wear glasses that "blink" each eye alternatively and the screen keeps up at the same frame rate, each eye seeing a different perspective... SO MUCH BETTER AND MORE REALISTIC!

Imagine, a huuuuge screen, Video proyector, like a movies one, Head tracking sistem, Wiimote plus the gun addon, and what do u get? A real size 3D Halo game for single player that would be F*CKING AWESOME! (Halo, metroid, medal of honor, even GTA...wbu CS? ;D )
