About the tracking, the codes only read the accelerometer signals and translate to the roll and pitch angle. The yaw angle and position in space could be acquired with a sensor bar. But I ignored the data due to I have not yet decided what I am going to use these data. What I was thinking is to control the camera view angle. But it'll need few more calculation, which I always do it at last when it has to be done.

Therefore, I decided to give it a try. I downloaded almost all the opensource classes of wiimote. but due to my limited understanding of java coding, the only one worked was wiiusej. Thus, that became my first choice.

About how to use wiiusej, please refer the sample codes on their website. It's really simple, even me, who have learned java for 4 weeks can understand.

Thank you.

1. I have not put this code on my website yet.

2. I have a diy sensorbar, on the top of the screen. In this testing program, data from sensor bar is not used. Only the roll, pitch angles and all the buttons on the wiimote.

3. The reason I choice to use wiiusej is simple. When I started to have the idea of this wiimote testing program. I have no idea about java. However, after searching a while, I realized that java could do much more than I thought.....to be continued in next comment.

hey i think your video is really cool.

Do u have a website where I can download the code ?

Are you using the Nintendo sensor bar , or did u build one like Johhny Lee ? Basically, what is doing the tracking ?

I want to do the same thing, but on Windows using Java, JOGL and Wii because I plan to use some other non Wii sensors also.

What do you think about Wiiusej ?
