Description
Johnny Lee talks about his Wii remote hacks. He shows several uses of the hacked Wii remote, and the remote is quite inexpensive at only forty dollars. The uses he showed include using it as a whiteboard, touchscreen and a display that responds to your head position making what is on screen look 3D.
My Impressions
All of the proposed uses for this have the potential to be very useful. I think the head tracking would be the most fun. If game developers were to use this technology in their games they would become much more realistic. I would be very excited to play a game that incorporated this.
