Using an IR led array and some reflective tape, you can track fingers in thin air using the Wii Remote by Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University. The grid software is a custom program written using a C# wiimote library and DirectX. More information about the grid software can be found at www.cs.cmu.edu

SPEAK UP NIGGUH
too bad you can’t play games with that
Would 20 led be enough?
Very impressive.
That is so awesome. it is amazing how some simple additions to technology can make it 10x better
I have writtten an essay on this subject entitled “Virtual Space – the future of movies and video games”and made it into a website. I can’t give the address here, but anyone interested can send me a personal message.
can we use this as a mouse (cursor)? for gaming applications, i want to put some reflective tape on my bb pistol and play some fps games with it.
this is sooooo cool and i wanna do it really badly

Now people, this is how you can become pretty famous for a discovery that is so simple, you just have to KNOW how things work and you might discover something new. But also, this is what you get from going to school and ACTUALLY listening ;)
now by any chance do you have any urls to give me for the led array becauseI’m having trouble finding one with the hole through it? and does there need to be a hole or can i place the wii remote above the led array?
Good job Johnny. I appreciate your work.
cool awesome
you don’t need the ir light array or reflective tape.Iused a wii game disc and the light in my room.
No, what i heard is the natal camera is going to be using a time-of-flight camera which can sense depth of objects in a snapshot… unfortunately they’re not cheap or else that would of been my senior project… i.e. minority report lmao
so it doesnt work on games
that is so cool!! Thanx dude!
Wow… i didnt know you cud do all those things with the wii remote
wow truly genius. I have a glimpse of the future because of this vid.
Main difference is natal is going to be straight camera tracking, whereas the wii uses infrared.
Amazing!
From what I heard, this guy is actually on the Project Natal team.
men u are awesome :D
Microsoft picked this guy up for Project Natal. Ironic that Nintendo didn’t pick him up.
