Hermione dueling with Wiimote

Use the Nintendo Wiimote to cast spells! Wave the Wiimote in different ways to cast different spells.

Previously, Wiimotes can only detect detect simple motion (like a swing forward or back). We wrote software that enabled it to sense complex motions like these Harry Potter spells.

Detection software on left screen. Highlighted box shows the spell recognised. Game on right screen.
