Tracking Your Fingers with the Wiimote etc.

This is a really neat and cool. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/[^] Watch the videos. The Wii Remote tracks its position in space relative to fixed points of IR light. Johnny Chung Lee demonstrates how a fixed Wiimote can track up to four points simultaneously, adding multitouch or head-tracking capabilities cheaply to any PC display. Demos with open C# source code and plenty of scope for further development.

Yes it is. Unfortunately in my house it has to compete with the old PS2 and Guitar Hero ( I and II, hopefully III for Christmas ) :rolleyes:

Yes, me too. I just bought a copy of Elektor Magazine which I use to read 20+ years ago. Elektor has been around for 40 years I think, which is really amazing. The electronics articles sure are different to when I was a young fella. And likewise, it sure would be nice to have time to dabble with some of the stuff they are writing about.
