Using an IR led array and some reflective tape, you can track fingers in thin air using the Wii Remote by Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University. The grid software is a custom program written using a C# wiimote library and DirectX. More information about the grid software can be found at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/

  • This is a serious question...

    What if your skin is a different colour? Would a black person's skin react differently?

  • @WindowsAndMacintosh yes, it gets lower reflectsion but not by much

  • 3:13 you go, girlfriend! mm-hmm!

  • @WindowsAndMacintosh

    black people have white fingers...

  • @WindowsAndMacintosh what a dumb question. No, it would not react differently. It has nothing to do with the skin colour, but rather the light intensity the finger emits.

  • Can someone help me using this instead of a pen in the low-cost multitouch whiteboard?

  • look at the tv when he points the wii remote at the camera at 0:34 the hand thing moves?

    is this cause the ray light thingy is refelctin off the camera lense or sumthin?

  • @WindowsAndMacintosh LOL!

    seriously answering your question:

    black man < white man

    (lighter colors means more reflection of light, lesser absorption)

  • lol wtf is the point if u cant click?

  • Everybody the birth of Xbox Kenect
