How to do Harry Potter spells with Wiimote

Use the Nintendo Wiimote to cast spells and battle! Wave the Wiimote in different ways, and your character will perform different spells.

A demonstration on how to do the five spells. Highlighted box on screen shows the spell cast.

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.

This project won the Best Project prize!
