[goranification]

how much is the wii remote?

[afro208]

@goranification : what the one you get with the console?

[goranification]

i mean that special cam that feel the moves. i didn't expline it very well.

[larssonk22]

too much

[Pvsmuntje]

I get this error when testing the demo program:

"Can't find wii remote: error reading data from wii remote...is it connected?"

Does anyone know what I have to do?

Thanks

[Geffles]

connect the wii remote ?

[YAKYAKYAK90]

@Pvsmuntje

yes thats the way :P

use an bluetooth stick, press buttons 1 and 2 of the wiimote simustanly(LEDs wil blink), search for divices, connect to device or to HID serves only (At least one LED will stay blinking or on), start the programm; on older windows versions u cant use the windows bluetooth stack, but need use blue soeil drives instead (will need an adequate bluetooth dongle)....

then start Desktop VR- hope this helps

[HandsFree3D]

Mitch Kapor has just unveiled a prototypical interface that demonstrates the possibilities for operating Second Life "hands free" without a mouse or keyboard. Check it out on our page.

[happybois]

If it werent for nintendo the only games we'd be talkin about would be those still buried in new mexico. Nintendo is the innovator that everbody copies. Anyway.. this tech is amazing, pity all the people who copy the guys demo and do proof of concepts what so ever.

[elwynhmxj]

try enter on the tv... O_o

[playboy8560]

SHUT UP

[LSUhomeboyz92]

Holy crap so cool that looked 3d even on the computer

[mastino082]

this is 3d

[Gabul4]

that comment made my day :D

[Devilknight6]

lol why are you guys talking about call of duty 5 and counterstrike? this is nintendo's technology they're using here.

[psychokamui]

Nintendo stole the idea of wiimote from a guy who work in Midway, he created the seame product 8 years ago. Nintendo sucks

[Conleh]

wrong. If you had actually looked it up, you would realize that is all false. You suck.

[psychokamui]

i play tenis on wii and mario galaxy and is a waste of time, wii is a waste of time and money.

probably smash brothers will gime me fum, i dont game it

[Conleh]

Yeah, I hear that all games that get a 9.7 from IGN are wastes of time. Wait, that's wrong too.

Maybe you just suck at the games. Wii is awesome.

[psychokamui]

Thats games are 9.7 but are made for childrens of five years. for those childrens are perfects.

[Conleh]

Which is why IGN's whole review team is adults? Your grammar makes you sound like you're a five year old, though. BTW, SSBB got a 9.5 from IGN, so stfu.

[totalanimation2]

yeah! stfu psychowatever!

lol nintendo rawk. nuff sed! if u dont have the inteligence (of tht i can tell u have little of frm your last comment-the grammar!! it made me have nightmares n stuff T_T)to acctually play the games on wii, well thats the reason u probably find them a waste of time because u cnt figure out what to do with the remotes and your hand/s

haha i rule at comebacks. period.

n btw psychoEct.- notin personal its just i felt liek defending a fellow nintendo fan ya get meh?

[Conleh]

thanks ^.^

[dvdneudecker]

should YOU really be talking about somebody's grammar? spell check bitch

[RileyKaii]

as much as i hate the wii, its true, they even had the power glove which was the 1st of this kind..

[StillPaulArtworks]

Nicely sad! ;)

[ChainGuN2]

I hope Call Of Duty 5 comes out with this kind of technology! OH BOY!

[stevie901]

or counter stike, you wouldn't be able to hack :D

[neverhoodyn]

Why would you not be able to hack?

[stevie901]

It would be difficult to use hacks. Considering the fact it's not 2D playing.

Plus, even if you found a way, it would be so easy to notice a hacker, even more easy than it already is.

[neverhoodyn]

huh , what are you talking about? Is cs 2d?

[stevie901]

Counter Strike, it's 3D but on a monitor it's a 2D interface. Where this makes it 3D game, and 3D interface. "out the box".

[ensenhest]

haha, why would it be harder to hack? the bot don't see the screen.

[stevie901]

aimbot has to be somewhat lookable on the screen for it to work right. Since you're in 3D playing, you have to still move around to look at the person, if you didn't you would be noticed as a hacker right away since you don't even move to shoot people or attempt.

[youarepwned]

stevie, other people gave you thumbs up, so I did the same thing.

[stevie901]

lol, thanks :P

guess you are someone else who hates hackers :D

[OneWingedElf]

I sure as pie hope so! Go Nintendo! We wanna see some more cool games!

[OnMyCamera]

Is anyone going to use this idea to their advantage and create some awesome software using this technique???

[AjkoKatekeshar]

probably not

[alucard2102]

jveu des lunettes.. lol ;-) non mais ca déchire, merci mec ca va servir :-D

[hefonthefjords]

dude, your computer is sooooo loud. sounds like a hoover.

[sakuratompac]

that's in silence mode :)

[Sharder8lade]

Dizamn, no wonder the program is stuttering like that. You need a new fan at the very least.

[lawriepop]

Hahahaha

[BobKruithof]

@sakuratompac i thought it was a helicopter

[RCbasher07]

thats seriously cool! but yu carnt use this for other programs such as games or movies, can yu?

if so id buy a wiimote and do this.

[deluxedookie]

the thing there trying to show is you can do it and if game developers want the can make a head set thing to do this, like the new version of the 3-d glasses with a red and blue lens.

[RCbasher07]

too right

[FreundCarlos]

I could be a game developer. I found this very interesting to develop a game.

Like the First Person Shooter games, the view is controlled by the mouse, but I think is possible to easily incorpore this idea for using a Wii control instead of the mouse.

[MGazT]

think i still rather use my shutter glasses.

[LikeYouButDifferent]

The Wii truly is a revolutionary idea, its jus lacking in next generation graphics capability. Awesome concepts though. :)

[nenshoukun]

everyone knows that already

[Taterstyles]

how did you get the stadium pic to show up? that's the only thing i can't get to work on mine

[sakuratompac]

try out the command keys shown on the left side of the screen (when you are running the demonstration)... ;)

[reallyfun]

that's freakin sick dude....Nintendo needs to hire that guy!!

[gryphont105]

woot awesome.

[poopidoop2]

metroid prime 3 would be awesome with that

[Mag1cMarek]

everything would be

[no3rdw]

it's true. Even Windows Vista would be cool if you could navigate around your desktop using head tracking ;)

[sakuratompac]

don't you think that this would be very heavy after a while?

[mistarval]

w00t!

[kentj1]

YEAH!
