Holy shit, this is frickin cool and this guy is a genius (well to someone stupid like me he is). A couple months ago I made a post about his “Minority Report” style finger tracking using the Wii. This fella Johnny Chung Lee, a Phd graduate student from Carnegie Mellon has been doing some really fancy hacks on the Nintendo Wii since then. In this particular hack, he makes VR header tracker using the wii-mote and the result visual effect is cool as hell. He explains in a very easy to understand manner of how realistic visual perspectives can enhance the gaming experience.

If game developers are watching this, they should definitely consider perspective bending like this to be the next evolution of features in future gaming and consoles. Its just way too cool to ignore…not to mention very cost effective to market ($$$).

See his other video of Wii hacks (including another cool whiteboard trick) here at his site.
