Interaction Techniques Using the Wii Remote (and Other HCI Projects)

Friday, March 20, 2009
The Wii remote is a sophisticated controller containing a variety of sensing capabilities. In this session, Johnny Lee covers several interaction techniques enabled by the Wii remote and explains how you can develop your own applications. Johnny also introduces a few of his other research projects in the broader domain of Human-Computer Interaction.

  • Hi, the Reactable is not a MIT Media Labs project, but a project from the "Pompeu Fabra" university, from Catalunya, Spain, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactable.

    hello johnny,

    This is annreddy i had gone through ur wii projects its superb and perfect job. I was very much impressed by your project works and decided to do an project in my masters by using wii remote. I dont know whether i can mail u like this or not but i need some help from you. hope u help me for my project. my project is too design an enhanced gloves worn by the cyclist which can flash a light when cyclist signaled to turn.In the first instant the PC should detect the signalling pattern of the cyclist by the movement of the cyclist arm and generate a light pattern of respective signal. here we will be using wiimote as an indicator and PC as a consol.

    so i am having a doubt that do we need to use any other extra sensor bars for the communication between the pc and wiimote via bluetooth. just by using a wiimote, PC and a bluetooth dongle can we make this happen. please do help me. I will be waiting for your reply.

    thank you very much
