This is some kind of experimental C program written by me to interface with Beryl or Compiz using libwiimote on a Dell XPS M1710.
This is intended to be used in combination with mouse or possibly as kind of remote media control.

Pitch is used to control openGL accelerated zoom, direction pad to switch faces on cube, scale, show desk, control main Volume with + and - and adding some sort of sound feedback to those actions.

  • did you get sound to play out of the wiimotes speeker?

  • It IS Awsome Dude ;)

  • Vista? It's Linux with Compiz/Beryl and XGL/AIGLX.

    Vista sucks - it's 10 times slower and has no 3d effects compared to this -_-

    And what do you mean: "without the remote"? Read phoenixbf's comment to this video. He wrote a program to support the remote. Normally you use mouse and keyboard.

    BTW. Nice video ;)

see all
