I'm trying to build one up but am struggling to get the wiimote picking up okay. By the time I have moved the wiimote far enough back from the screen that it can 'see' all of it (only a 24") The LED is not bright enough. I even bend the LED back on itself so it's pointing directly at the wiimote.

Do you use special ultra-bright IR LEDs? Would you have a part number?

[scoochy]

The LEDs I used came straight from the Radio Shack tray.

I don't know how far back your LED is, but my Wiimote had no problem at 4 feet. Make sure your shoulder or something else isn't blocking the LED.

How are you looking around? Does the glove control the view as well?

[scoochy]

Track IR from Natural Point provides the head movement in game.

In DCS-BS, a text message pops up when you hover the mouse pointer on a certain switch, which is pretty handy if you're not quite familiar with the cockpit. Is it possible to put a second IR LED elsewhere(say fixed to the monitor frame)that goes ON when you press your screen? Then you may keep the one on your fingertip constanly lit and use it to move the mouse arrow for text messages.

[scoochy]

Not that I am aware of.

Once you use the cockpit in this fashion for a few flights, you'll find that the clicking of the switches becomes almost natural.

Your a freak but i like it. More precise than a touch-screen and much cheaper. You have to get a patent NOW!

I was thinkering with the same idea but had no clue where to start, but i wanted to make it so that all 5 fingers could be used. I wonder if that would be possible, like making it 5 leds instead of 2. In any case ill try to get to work on something along the lines of this invention. Thanks for the inspiration.

[monsterhunterminegar]

Omg if only manufauctuers had the balls to make something like this instead of eyetoy ripoffs.

touch screen rulez

[zaelu]

Nice idea.

Can you describe a bit more your setup please?

Where did you placed the camera? How are the leds set up on the glove or if you are using a IR LED array where did you put it and how does your wiimote don't confuse your hands with the led or reflective tapes from Track IR?

Thank you.
