Wii Sensor Bar VR For A 3D Window Like Display

Wii Sensor Bar VR For A 3D Window Like Display Video Clips. Duration : 4.20 Mins.


This video demonstrates Johnny Lee's technique for turning your display into a virtual 3D window. We hooked up a laptop to the television with an HDMI cable and used the laptop's bluetooth connectivity to communicate with the Wii Remote. We were then able to use the Wii Sensor Bar as an Infra-red tracking mechanism to relate our position relative to the television and render the imagery accordingly. The results were quite impressive. Note that the laptop is what actually runs the VR software. The Wii Remote and Sensor Bar are simply used to relay positional information back to the laptop. We are compiling instructions for you to do this yourself at limelightdev.net Thanks to Johnny Lee (johnnylee.net) for developing this wonderful application, and we're looking forward to seeing this sort of technology evolve in the future!
