hi everyone,

is there the possibility to measure the depth (with the sensorbar)?
i mean the distance between the wiimote and the sensorbar to get
some 3d informations. is there a way to do this with triangulation?

Perhaps it is possible to use IR-Receptor instead of IR-Sender.
What does "dot1size" do?

For a drawing tool in the programm vvvv from meso
i would like to measure the distances/track the movements in front of the screen.

As example:
When i press the A-Button i get the current XYZ-Position of the Wiimote
named Point "A". I move the wiimote around. When i release the "A-Button" i get Point "B" to draw the lines between the points.

looking forward to discuss the possiblities.

check Carl's 5dof script, I believe it does that (and I once made a code to do that as well...)

There's a couple of ways to go about doing this.

What you need to know is this:

As you get closer to the Sensor Bar, The IR dots grow in size. As you move back, they shrink.

However, the values for dot size have limited precision, which brings me to the second method:
As you get closer to the Sensor Bar, the two IR dots you track appear to be further apart. They get closer as you move back. This allows for a much nicer estimation of distance from the SB. FYI, nintendo's sensor bars have the dots separated by 7.5 inches.

To capture instantanious pointer data, use the Pressed function. The code will look like this:
