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.

He should make games and videogame consoles with his knowledge. NINTENDO! Get this guy into your development team! His ideas can revolutionize videogaming and could be a real revival of the old "3D Simulators", but without causing eye-cancer. ;)
