Virtual Segway tours with a Wii Fit balance board

Drive a Segway around Google Earth just like the real deal using a Wii Fit balance board. Full details: http://qr.ae/7NEly

Hacked together in 7 hours during the SVI Hackathon at Stanford on Sunday, July 17, 2011.

Wii Fit balance board connects over bluetooth to an OS X application called Osculator which then sends the data out as OSC messages to a Node.js server that pipes the messages through Socket.io to a browser where it controls a Segway inside the Google Earth plugin.
