First one up is Virtual Reality like environment that could be done on the wii. At the moment it is setup for the pc but it uses everything the wii has at its disposal so I waiting for nintendo to really unlock its potential

You guys are a little too impressed by this.

All he did was simulate the tip of a Wiimote via reflective tape. The Wii sensor tracks specific kinds of light, meaning it will track the reflective tape thinking it's a Wiimote.

There's really nothing magical or special about this.

:001_rolleyes: No but he point of it is the potential the wii has for things like this. He has probably just tapped what it can do with work and time I bet we see much more impressive things. I mean none of this thought of this... The vr head tracking I think was very cool and not everyone could of thought how to make that work right.
