Some great Wiimote IR tracking projects

I've decided to collect some of my favorite projects I've seen people do with my Wiimote projects, derivatives of them, or distantly inspired (through the creator's own admissions). It's a surprise, and flattering to see how many people seem happy to credit me. Thanks all! The list gets more "unusual" the further you go down.

Two Wiimote Whiteboards to make a competative relay race:


Great IR wands for the Wiimote whiteboard. I've been meaning to make these, but I haven't gotten to it yet.


Some nice two handed, two finger pinching systems:




Wiimote Wheelchair art. Unfortunately, no video but more information at this link.


Head tracking prototypes with Anime assets. The effect of the girl coming out of the screen (about half way through the video) is very nicely done with the "haze" layer. His other videos are also worth checking out. I don't know what he does for a living, but he's good at it.


Wii Theremin gallantly created/performed by Ken Moore:


Finally, a video on "chicken head tracking". It doesn't use the Wii remote, but was posted as a response to my video and I love it!

  4. I suppose I would say, I think you are fantastic for figuring this bit with the Wii-wiki-board bit. (this is what we call whiteboards in my parts), but I ask, how did you come up with this idea?

  5. Hi Johnny,

    I wonder is it possible to use your tracking method to give math lectures on-line. Is it possible just buy, instal and use? I am very interested!

  10. First off, Johnny, I'd like to thank you for this amazing piece of technology.
    I just got to know this work on the Wiimote, and I decided to give it a shot. I've used every kind of e-board there is but this is something else.
    I was wondering, though, if there's any possible way of converting the Wiimote to USB, or some other kind of IR receiver that will do the trick while not running on batteries.
    Thank you again for this.
