Final Virtual Wiiality

This video shows the result of my Virtual Wiiality fish tank project.

The software uses a dynamic rescaling and camera rotating algorithm along with a DIY head tracking solution. The head tracking is done with a Nintendo Wii Remote and a pair of IR-modified safety glasses. The headtracking was inspired by http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/.

The software is written in C++ and uses Open Scene Graph. The application dynamically scales the geometry and rotates the camera to continually display the scene as correctly viewed by the camera. The PC is connected to the Nintendo Wii remote with bluetooth. The application asks the Wii remote for the relative position of an observed IR LED. The remote is placed in front of the monitor facing toward the user; therefore the relative position of the remote is also the relative position to the monitor.

And instead of regular transparent lenses try using anaglyph lenses... it'll be real 3d!

sweat job bro. can you upload this, I am getting a bluetooth dongle this week and am going to try the VR Desktop. That would be a fantatstic background

I think that that is extremly kewl, It looks almost like a real fish tank ( in 3D aspects)
