So a colleague of mine asked if I had come across any unique uses of the Wii… I had indeed and thought I would post my findings here as well. Here are the video’s. Isn’t it AMAZING! (Note: The first three are from Johnny Chung Lee at Carnegie Mellon University and the applications can be downloaded here.)

Head Tracking for Desktop Virtual Reality Displays Using the Wii Remote

Low Cost Multi-Cost WhiteBoard System Using Wii Remote

Tracking Fingers with the Wii Remote

There is also one more I found regarding Croquet.

Controlling a Wii Remote using a Wii Remote.

This last one was done using a program on a Mac called DarwinRemote (GlovePIE for PC)(which I used for my Croquet Haptic Project). It basically turns the Wii into a mouse on a computer. You can use it for any type of program that uses a mouse. Good stuff.

Anyone else seen any cool Wii applications?
