Tracking fingers with the Wii Remote


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

    @SanJei15 Google, dealextreme, and a lot more places sell the IR emitters, just be careful not to get them too strong/high a rating, they could cause headaches if you’re sensitive to high amounts of infrared light.
