Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

Johnny Chung Lee - Projects - Wii As of June 2008, Nintendo has sold nearly 30 million Wii game consoles. This significantly exceeds the number of Tablet PCs in use today according to even the most generous estimates of Tablet PC sales. This makes the Wii Remote one of the most common computer input devices in the world. It also happens to be one of the most sophisticated. Any software on this page is primarily meant for developers and may not run without proper the development tools installed. NOTE: For most of these projects, you don't need the Nintendo Wii console. Coming Later: 3D tracking, and more.... Unfortunately, time constraints in the next couple of months have significantly reduced my ability to work on more projects.

V Energy - The home of V Sony London : la TV 3D parmi les "futurs gros trucs" - Après la Notre compatriote Nicolas Doucet, qui représente fièrement le Gers depuis son studio Sony London (EyePet) où il officie en tant que Directeur Créatif, s'est exprimé dans les colonnes de l'Officiel PlayStation britannique au sujet des "gros trucs" d'avenir du jeu vidéo. Pour lui, les télés à 3D stéréoscopique (utilisant une technologie similaire à celle des salles de cinéma, avec lunettes), figure parmi les innovations technologiques importantes à venir. Ces télévisions, dont les premiers modèles devraient commencer à débarquer massivement à partir de l'été prochain, permettent un simulacre d'affichage en 3D dimensions, le même qu'utilise notamment le film Avatar de Cameron - et son adaptation vidéoludique. Les TV 3D sont assurément une des grosses [innovations] à venir, et elles nous ferons faire un pas supplémentaire vers l'immersion totale. (...) Une bonne occasion pour organiser un petit sondage parmi vous, tiens... Sondage La TV 3D DAns les jeux vidéo...

Hiding your data in plain sight – USB hardware hiding —> The PDF version of this article can be found here. This article will describe the possibility of hiding data in any kind of USB hardware. Even though USB data carriers come in various sizes and forms, which already sometimes makes them hard to recognize, this approach could even make it worse. Any USB device could be a data carrier and thus from a forensics point of view, any USB device should be taken into account when investigating a computer. Or, for example, from a company protection point of view, any USB device could be used to transport data out of the company. The reason for writing this article is that the approach described in it has already been developed by me around 2007, while I was still working for the company Fox-IT. Any brands shown on the pictures in this paper are chosen because they were fairly cheap and available during the research. Theory The theory behind the hiding of the data is pretty simple. Theory in action Project variations Conclusion

V Motion Project – Part I: The Instrument | Custom Logic Web Blog Overview The Motion Project was a collaboration between a lot of clever creative people working together to create a machine that turns motion into music. The client for the project, Frucor (makers of V energy drink), together with their agency Colenso BBDO, kitted-out a warehouse space for this project to grow in and gathered together a group of talented people from a number of creative fields. Producer Joel Little (Kids of 88, Goodnight Nurse) created the music, musician/tech wiz James Hayday broke the track down and wrestled it into Ableton, and Paul Sanderson of Fugitive built the tech to control the music with the help of Mike Delucchi. The Instrument The final design of the machine was the result of months of experimenting… it all makes perfect sense in hindsight, but in the beginning, none of us were really sure what we were building. Unfortunately, this control and flexibility comes at a price… the system has a significant lag. Two Hearts Beat as One Don’t Cross the Streams

Un 1er TV 3D, par JVC, à 9 153 dollars Nous nous demandions à quel prix sortiraient les premiers téléviseurs 3D. Nous les espérions abordables. Pour le tout 1er d'entre eux, le JVC GD-463D10, en cours de commercialisation aux Etats-Unis et au Japon, c'est raté. Le 46'' 3D est à 9 153 dollars - comptez autant en euros, étant donné les mauvaises habitudes de conversion des constructeurs. C'est le prix à payer pour impressionner la galerie un temps, mais pas de manière pérenne. En revanche, la position de l'utilisateur face à l'écran est moins libre qu'avec des lunettes actives (le téléviseur envoie ses deux images dans des directions précises), la définition des images est moitié moindre que sur les téléviseurs 3D Panasonic attendus pour début 2010 et, pour l'instant, ce n'est pas la solution 3D supportée par les studios de cinéma - qui font appel à des lunettes actives. Les solutions polarisées testées Pour découvrir ce téléviseur d'un peu plus près, JVC USA a mis en place un site dédié à la technologie, ici.

Newstweek This HOWTO has instructions to build your own Newstweek device, a small innocuous wallplug allowing you to remotely manipulate news read by other people on wireless networks. If you want to learn more about Newstweek, click here. The version you'll be building uses low-cost (and low-power) hardware, capable of fitting into a small plastic enclosure; power transformer and all. This initial version doesn't support APs with HTTP authentication or encryption. Rather than using IRC as a control interface (as seen in the project video) we've implemented phone-friendly browser interfaces for local and remote control of the device. Hardware Theoretically you should be able to use any Atheros AR2 based mini-router with our Newstweek firmware. Here are some sources for you: Source 1 (Deutschland) Source 2 (USA) Source 3 (Amazon USA) Source 4 (Planex direct) Source 5 (Amazon Japan) We found a wall plug enclosure from Conrad, Deutschland to be a great fit.

Discovery Readies 3D Network for Launch this Year, CEO Tells Bee LAS VEGAS, NV–One of the first television networks to announce plans to launch a 3-D network, Discovery told Beet.TV the new network will likely launch later this year or early 2011. The 3D network is a joint venture between Sony and IMAX, as Discovery CEO David Zaslav explained to me when I sat down with him following his keynote at the NATPE conference on Monday morning. He said much of the decision to launch the network came down to common sense. “If people like to consume it in motion picture format and there is this push to put sets into the home and our content looks good in hi-def, then it should work in 3D,” he said during his keynote. Still, 3D is a risk since it’s still so new. “The way technology works is you have to place your bets beforehand.” Zaslav also said international is a huge growth opportunity for Discovery. In the online video world, Discovery’s focus is on short clips, rather than long-form content, he said. Daisy Whitney, Senior Producer

Blogs | Tech & Gadgets - MSN CA So, it looks as if Avatar is now set to be the highest-grossing film of all time. According to the Hollywood Reporter, it fell just $2m shy of Titanic's $1.843 billion record after this weekend, guaranteeing it place in the history books. The biggest news, of course, is that Avatar is a 3D movie. 3D cinema used to be horrid. Those coloured glasses, which often gave people headaches and delivered off-colour results, were up there in cheesiness with the 'smellivision' odor-generating machines that accompanied some of yesteryear's movies. These days, with higher-definition movies and polarised stereoscopic glasses that deliver a more convincing 3D effect, the whole experience is smoother. Cinema has always been about spectacle, and so it's no surprise that the film industry has come back for a second bite of the 3D cherry. New films in 3D are exciting enough, but what really interests me are the old ones. I hope so. Danny Bradbury, MSN Tech & Gadgets
