Wii Controller for Virtual Reality
 |
||
Movie showing how to hack a Wii controller to track its absolute position and orientation in space using a custom-made IR beacon.Shows several examples of 3D graphics applications used with a Wii controller, and a virtual light saber.More information, instructions how to build a custom IR beacon, and source code at http://idav.ucdavis.edu/~okrey...

It's homegrown, a simple demo using a 3D volume model storing "density" for each point in space, and the visible surface is extracted as an isosurface or "level set" from the 3D volume.It's not fancy at all, but fun to play with.

That would be correct for a tracker with 3 rate gyros, but from the manufacturer's specs, the ID600 only has two gyros. So we're still missing a degree of freedom. It will surely improve gesture recognition in Wii games, but won't be enough for full 6DOF dead reckoning.

what program were you useing to make the clay model?

1:06 in the video, the wii controller cant sense angle left.

either way the wiimotion plus could come in handy for this, giving it a smoother feel and more accurate tracking.

Spelunkerucd, I love your buckyball deformation demonstration and molecular modeler. Very cool. I'm working on something similar, though I don't have any of the tensegrity simulation done. Anyhow, kudos! :-D
