 Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:41 am Post subject: About WiiremoteJ related to sample of Jonny Lee project |
|
|
I would like to play around with the WiiremoteJ library but i wonder, i see a lot of code samples and video's about how to use the remote as a mouse pointer, but is this library also suitable for creating something like the "Low-Cost Multi-point Interactive Whiteboards Using the Wiimote
" sample from Jonny Lee? and then in particulair, can this library read the infra red spots using the remote (especially multiple IR spots)?
Since i have the buy the remote and create the IR pointer i would first like to know if this is the case. Oh and if anyone wonders i have 9+ years programming experience of which 6 years of Java, so it is more about the capabilities of the library then if i am possible of doing it. |

Yep. It's definitely doable. The library will tell you where the remote sees points of light via the IREvent class and WiiRemoteListener. Implementing things with this information is up to you, of course.

| not to sure when but i think I'll be building that Jonny Lee touch screen in college over the next few weeks, i think the plan is to use c# but i'm going to try convince the lecturer to use WiiremoteJ so if we get it working i'll post the code up here |

I actually ported and improved Johnny Lee's WiimoteWhiteboard program that lets you control the mouse with an infrared pen. You can download it at my website: "uweschmidt DOT org", then go to "Wiimote Whiteboard"
I'm not allowed to post URLs yet...
