Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

When Money Attacks... Nintendo's Wiimote


This is freaky fantastic! This is the future of all videogames!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We already thought Johnny was amazing, but he just did something so incredible, that he just redefined the videogame industry!!!

"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. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University."



The videogame industry just changed dramatically on 12.21.07 (with over 890,000 views on this video already)…
