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. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University.

  • In the next video: we will be making a time machine only using the wii remote!

  • Awesome. You sound like Wernstrum from Futurama by the way.

  • Dude that is brilliant. I want to see some games that use this too lol

    BTW, saw you on TED, great stuff! I love the whiteboard solution.

  • Asians are so smart dude you are smarter then nintendo microsoft and sony combined

  • @RunescapeGuides129 im good thanks :>

  • @Gileum Youve never seen anyone do such a thing? Reeally??

    Google PS3 head tracking.

  • this seems like such an easy thing to accomplish yet i've never seen anyone do anything like this before. you should submit this to nintendo, or microsoft since both of them seem to be the leaders with this 3D motion tracking. it would make Wii games alot more interesting. As for Xbox's Natal/Kinect, if it were to implement this kind of tracking, not only would the game interact with YOUR motion accurately, but you could interact with the game's world accurately by seeing it this way.

  • THIS GUY NEEDS A MEDAL

  • he explains it very well

  • WTF this is COOLL  xD
