Head Tracking using the wiimote

January 14th, 2008

In another project from Johnny Chung Lee

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/

find out how to use the wiimote and a head-mounted sensor bar to track the position of your head.

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.
