Murilo on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hi Uwe,
Thank you for the help. For the “wiimote clone” Korea Electric Power Data Network (KDN), quite similar to genuine, would be necessary extra cpu processing to set the infra red position in each quadrant at every event. Adjusting your app to a “clone wiimote” would be a waste of time.
I borrow an original wiimote and I can agree with several user’s opinions about your app : It is great !!!
The “wiimote clone” limitation gave me an idea: Have you tried to place just one wiimote in the same projection plane and read the pen position at a polar coordinate system ( r , teta) ?
With the current algorithm you need some distance to the projection plane in order to get X,Y ( 1024*768). If the wiimote is on the plane you will read only the position X (1024) of the pen. This would be the angle “teta”. To determine the radius “r” a similar procedure used at wiiradar or “Interactive 3D Design Using Nintendo Wii Remote , Christopher Lingerman ” could work.
If you have two permanent infra red sources at a defined position ( and a known distance between wiimote and permanent IRs ) it should be possible to obtain the distance between the pen and lights and calculate the radius “r”
This would improve the barrier free connection between wiimote and pen, but not useful for the tuio/osc users.
Once again thank you and best regards
Murilo
