Presentation: "Interaction Techniques Using the Wii Remote"
Time:
Thursday 11:15 - 12:00
Location:
Ballroom Le Grand 2
Abstract: As of December 2007, Nintendo has sold over 20 million Wii
consoles worldwide. This significantly exceeds the number of
tablet PCs used today according to even the most generous
estimates of tablet PC sales. This makes the Nintendo Wii remote
one of the most common input devices in the world. It also
happens to be one of the most sophisticated containing a 3-axis
accelerometer and high-resolution high-speed infrared camera.
This is an incredible opportunity to explore interaction
techniques enabled by the Wii remote and to develop new
applications that could be instantly accessible to millions of
individuals around the world. Though only just a few weeks old,
the work I will present has received nearly 5 million unique
views and generated over 250,000 software downloads. In this
talk, I will show you how you can participate in these projects
as well as generate your own.
