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.

I don’t know about you but this would be AMAZING for any FPS on the Wii. Just imagine the possibilities the Wii has with this? It’s just unbelieveable. I’m definately downloading this from his site, I searched youtube and a few people have done this and it worked fine for them.
Just imagine yourself in a FPS sceneraio or a 3rd person shooter like RE4, moving around will reveal areas around you.
It’s just so awsome really.
What do you think? what do you believe are the possibilities?
I’ve never had problems with sunlight, but I keep my curtains shut most of the time since sunlight makes the image on the TV be harder to see afterall.

How is the ir light from the sun relevant to how cool an idea, not to mention inovative, this would be for adventure games and shooters. I’ve had my remote react to the christmas lights on our tree before, all I did to fix the problem is turned off the lights, if the sun is coming into the room from behind your wii then just put up curtains or move your tv and wii to another part of the room, space permitting of course. I would risk the shame and taunts of my friends and relatives to have an option like this for a shooter, instead of putting your cursor from you wiimote near one area of the screen to turn and look there all you would have to do is turn your head and then use the wiimote as a gun sight.

i just thoughty it was kool that the wiimote could work with sunlight and a flashlight instead of a sensor bar.
