Hardware Virtual Reality with WiiMote WOW

[Osaka]

Buy an IR camera and a PC. Chances are, you already have one of those items.
You can use a regular webcam too, just buy an IR filter to put over the lens. Cheaper than buying an IR camera, works just as well (for this particular purpose).

EDIT: Better yet, make your own IR filter

I tried that... It doesn't work very good. Just use a Wii Remote... It works fine

Yes, using a Wiimote is definitely better, but PharaohsVizier sold his Wii and doesn't have a Wiimote to try this out with. On the other hand, he probably has a webcam.

I think I'll build myself some IR Pens and then use my TFT as a big touchscreen. 8)
