Wii library w/IR multipoint support?
Dec 28th, 2007, 10:52am  
Hi all,

So I've discovered that the WII IR sensor is in fact a 1024 x 768 IR camera that can recognize up to 4 IR points.

Um, cheap multitouch, anybody?

Unfortunately, I can't figure out if anybody has implemented a library for Processing that actually recognizes this feature. According to this wiki (http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Wiimote#Data_Formats) it transmits the x and y value of each point, but I don't understand Bluetooth data stuff or hardware stuff at all.

I know I could probably download each of the existing Java libraries and pore through the documentation, but could somebody save me the time and let me know if this is already implemented somewhere? Smiley

Cool -- I installed it and I think I see how to read the IR. I will let you know (I'm gonna test it with my TV remote.)

Thanks!
