Yeah, but they're taking it a step further. It's just how innovation works. People take existing ideas and change/improve them.

Definitely give props to Johnny Lee, though. He's the pioneer. I hope he's been hired by nintendo or some other company by now.

Laptops and Wiis are cheap compared to Matlab.

Its like a SmartBoard that most schools use

@al28283 I do, but that's because I got them when I wasn't a poor man. So, I will have a cheap motion tracking system until I have to pawn it off to survive :(

"a poor man's motion capture system"? how many poor men have laptops and wii's?

If you place a known scale into the volume space to be detected can yo then measure an objects size with any accuracy? In other words do an as built survey of a portion of a room.
