Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the Wii Remote December 21
Johnny Chung Lee has released another interesting Wii Remote hack, following in the footsteps of his Finger Tracking and Digital White Board hacks he has now released a Head Tracking application for desktop VR displays.
From the Project Page:
Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space.
The program only needs to know your display size and the size of your sensor bar. The software is a custom C# DirectX program as is primarily provided as sample code for developers without support or addition documentation.
