Johnny Chung Lee Projects. Since the Wiimote can track sources of infrared IR light, you can track pens that have an IR led in the tip. By pointing a wiimote at a projection screen or LCD display, you can create very low cost interactive whiteboards or tablet displays. Since the Wiimote can track upto 4 points, up to 4 pens can be used. It also works great with rear projected displays. The calibration and mouse cursor emulation software is available for you to download and try yourself. Note My mouse emulation code isnt perfect. The Nintendo World Championship is coming back this fall, Nintendo said today. Qualifying matches will take place at Best Buys across the United States, so World. If any of you are programmers and can get it working with Alias Sketchbook, drop me a line. Connect your wiimote to your PC via Bluetooth. There are a number of tutorials online on how to do this, possibly even for you specific softwarehardware configuration. The Wiimote works with many but not all Bluetooth drivers. Whether your personal data gets compromised in an Equifaxstyle breach or your email password is exposed, getting hacked can be a nightmare. Knowing what to expect. You can reportread about compatibility issues at Wiimote. Project. com. 2. Download the Wiimote Whiteboard software to the right. Please read the READ ME. Make sure your wiimote is connected via Bluetooth, and then run the. NOTE Good placement of the wiimote is key to good tracking. View the README for more info. Multitouch The multitouch demos are custom C Direct. X programs. You may download the sample program to the right, but this is provided for developers without support or documentation. The code is built on top of this Wiimote library. Unfortunately, multi touch capable applications are currently extremely rare. Hopefully, that will change as more developers explore its potential. Building pens Here is a simple schematic of the light pen. The LEDs that I use are Vishay TSAL6. A, but lots of other LEDs will work too. You also might be able to jump start your experimentation by retro fitting a mini keychain light with an IR LED. Im currently looking into manufacturing and selling IR pens, but this may take several months. MacLinux Versions Due to personal time contraints, I probably wont be able to make a port myself. But fairly mature versions are available online. However, I havent tried them myself. Ive also created a Source Forge Project Wiimote Whiteboard, but it does not seem to be getting much love. A visit to this projects FAQ and Advanced Discussion post may be very englightening. You may also find the official discussion forums for my wiimote projects helpful Wiimote.
