Wii game developers should really look into this:

+1 for genius

Somebody give this guy a god damn job at Nintendo, that was unreal, it works soo well, we NEED this in games, the days of a basic view of our computer screen are gone, we need something else, this would be awesome in a 1st person shooter, and really wouldn't be that hard I don't think to put into a game.

[DoubleLP]

WOW!!!! That is awesome!!!!!

[The Cosworth]

who else wants to start a petition to get him a job at EA, Sony, Nintendo...etc



edit: just reading up on this guy, and he is pretty cool.

i dont get how that works lol.

i know he explained it at the very beginning with the picture frame, but its soo weird how that little bar can adjust the viewing of the image in your brain.

Did anyone actually try downloading and runnig this? I couldn't get that cool 3D effect that he was getting.

It doesn't.

It changes the view on the screen. This isn't like 3D glasses or something, the "tracker" just tells the computer where you are in relation to the tv, so the computer changes the view on the monitor.

From how he explained it, it reversed how the Wii thinks. Normally, the IR is on and the Wiimote just figures out the coordinates of itself in relation to the IR source and sends it back to the Wii. The way he sets it up is he makes the Wiimote stationary, and use the IR to make the Wiimote "follow the source" instead.

Think of it as having Wiimote in the front and tying a string to it as a pivot point. Then your head is tied on the opposite end via the IR. So basically, you become the TV screen instead. :nut:
