Using the Wiimote for tracking

For a little while I have been trying to find the time to give the wiimote a try as a PC interface. Roo had some things things running last year. Today as the first day back at work 2 people Gareth and Tim both pointed me to some youtube videos by Johnny Chung Lee.
His website has all the code and instructions you need, but I am putting this video on here because I think it is stunning.
1. Its a great idea, 2. its very well presented yet homebrew, 3. It gets the effect across so well.

So now if we combine ArtTag and the other camera based thing what on earth will we come up with?

    Yay it’s in C#, glad they don’t do these things in Java.
