Johnny Lee creates a headtracking VR system with a TV and a Wii-mote
- iamelgringo 19y agoJohnny Lee needs to get hired by someone.
- asmosoinio 19y agoA very cool hack! I wonder how widely used head tracking systems are for gaming? I saw one at my friends, who plays a lot of flight simulators on his PC, and I guess basically the technology was quite similar to the Wii remote - IR-leds and a camera.
- samwise 19y agoI wish i was in "that" market because i would hire that guy in a heart beat. Keep in mind the "magic" is in the software.
- euccastro 19y agoThe "magic" is in the man, but not in the software. I guess it only takes a knowledge of the low level Wii remote protocols and a good grasp of linear algebra to execute this. Most people that have that knowledge still don't come up with this coolest stuff.
- hhm 19y agoThe implementation for this is pretty simple. What this guy did is coming with a very original and interesting idea no other came before, and that was brilliant. I'm very, very impressed.
- samwise 19y agoSide note if you were to mount a camera on the hat/goggles and show the stream on VR goggles others could "share" the same experience.
- euccastro 19y agoThe same, minus control over your view. It's a very important difference. That's why you can get dizzy in a car when others drive, but not when you drive yourself. Some people report motion sickness when using VR glasses; I think sharing the view would only make it worse for all but the guy in control.
