Hello all,

We just finished our Wiimote-based interaction project. The application was built in Java 1.5 and Processing 1.1. A link to a jar-file executable can be found here: Repository at google code. The source code and a comprehensive PDF-file are provided as well. It would be cool if some of you have a look at it.

Very nice work!

I skimmed through the pdf article you had posted, and I couldn't find any specifics on your hardware setup. Are you using some kind of sensor hooked up to a PC to run the Wiimotes? (My girlfriend has a Wii and I'd be very interested in fooling around with something like this.)

EDIT: Just did some googling; I assume you did this through a simple bluetooth dongle? Very nice; I'll have to give this a shot.

first, thanks for having a look!

we used the bluecove library to connect the wiimotes via bluetooth to our machines.

Super cool and thanks for posting. I'll take a look when I get to that point in my project when I want to start experimenting with different input devices.

thanks for the feedback! The program takes care of connecting the Wiimotes. You have to change the provided MAC-adresses in the Main.java file to your Wiimotes' ones.

Is the Wiimote usable on linux now ? Last time I checked it would only work with mac (i think there is a library for processing that only work for mac...)
