Full Body Tracking Kendo Game

My dissertation topic for the IET MSc course 2007 - 2008
In this project a USB camera tracks the user's body position,the head is tracked with the aid of a Wii remote and Infra-Red LEDs mounted on a pair of glasses, while the (mock-up) Kendo stick will be tracked with a combination of IMU (using the Wii controller) and vision.
Everything is done in real-time.

Great work. I'm glad to see people are already taking this new technology and testing out different ways of utilizing it. I know a lot of people will probably watch this video and think it's lame, not truely understanding what they are witnessing. The future of gaming looks bright.

Thanks for the comment. But yes you are right I was very sceptical of the Wii when it came out and thought it would never pick up, was I wrong though :)
