Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

The above video was posted to YouTube by Johnny Chung Lee, Ph.D. Graduate Student at Carnegie Mellon Universitie's Human-Computer Interaction Institue.  Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), Lee demonstrates an approach to accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space.  For more information and software visit http://johnnylee.net
