Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote
Loading...
Uploaded by jcl5m on Dec 21, 2007
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.

@Graavigala85 HA! And we wouldnt want to ruin the 3D television industry would we? Who needs innovations we can just resort to cheap camera tricks and foolish use of a gimmick lol. Its unfortunate that we will likely never see tech like this in the mainstream any time soon, at least in the forseeable future....

@WeAreTMPG this would ruin the 3D television industry and, gods forbid it, make #D effects actually worth something and not just cheap tricks

@PDFeFiles Infrared light is infrared. The human eye can't see the light emitted from it either way. It shows up red on color cameras picking up the light, but you can't see it without it. It has to be infrared (or extremely bright), or the Wiimote won't see it. (And I've taken a couple TV remotes apart that use infrared LEDs, I remember those were clear looking, but I could be wrong.)

@Higgledypiggle1 I mean no big game developers have used this idea, one-player perspective changing. Not used in any Wii or XBox Kinnect games I've seen.
