I saw this quite some time ago and was pretty stoked about it when I saw how he uses it for a Virtual Reality head tracking system. I am really surprised that more game companies haven't started developing games using his idea and selling them with 3D glasses. Just watching the perspective when he hooks up the sensors to the camera is simply amazing!
Can you imagine the smilies on Brad's Electronic Projects just POPING out at you? <--- SUPER 3D dude!
Anyway,
Years ago I built his $14.00 steadycam (listed on his site) and it worked great. That was long before he developed his wiimote stuff. I gotta hand it to the guy, he's creative!

I can't believe that I have only just now watched this video!
This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time! I am going out to buy myself a wii remote, This is way better than the smartboards that we use at work, and the students would get a huge kick out of it also.
Chuck, once again you have given us one very unique and cool video link!

Just remember if you haven't played with a Wii, you can't do all the way across a room with the Wii controllers. I'm guessing 6-8 feet may be the range but I don't know what the instructions would say.
