You know what I give up just keep thinking that this has noting to do with processingposter

Motion sensing has nothing to do with hardware power. Look at your Wii-mote, on the front end of it is a infrared light sensor, the sensor bar which comes with the Wii emits infrared lights, which is used as a reference point by the Wii-mote to tell how far it is from the sensor bar and how high or low it is. It detects tilt by it self and has a laser pointer. Of course if move the infrared sensor out of sight of the sensor bar it can't detect where it is, this could be fixed by adding adjustable sensitivity so that you could make pointing the Wii-mote 10 degrees left will make it turn 20 degrees left, this could be adjusted until you're comfortable with it, and TrackIR (which is a headtracking device for PC) supporting games have done this before.

ONLY WITH MODS, OR ACCESSORIES, WII DOESN'T NEED THIS.

Yes it does.

Looks amazingly fun.

All lazy people and fanboys; your loss. ;)

[QUOTE="MasterC5"][QUOTE="CossackNoodle"]I hope some has pointed out PS EYE CAN DO THE EXACT SAME THING! there is a vid somewhere showing the exact thing he just clips on a lense and it tracks the two points on his glasses so SONY can do it with pseyeMasterC5

It's really quite amazing. Watch the demo video :o

Look at the demo, it only used simply geometry yet still looked awesome as hell, the gameplay possibilities are endless;)

Wrong you have been talking about how it could be implemented into genres like fps, do you have any idea how much ram would be required to get this to work with a ton of stuff movin on screen like in an FPS this has nothing to do with graphjics but processing power your the one that is looking like a fool here.

I know how much RAM would be required for this! The exact same ammount as pushing a directional button on a Control pad! All this does is change the camera location, like a 3d right analog stick in a first person shooter. It would require no RAM to implement, and only a few more CPU cycles to determine the position with the addition of another dimension.

TC am fail.blitzcloud

I was just going to post this.

The tech is as easy to use on the ps3

All you need is the usb camera and a infra red filter.

Then you put two infrared leds on some glasses and voila.

The Wii works the same, but you need one or two extra wii-motes.

Also this tech only works for the person wearing the glasses.

Yeah, I remember buying the SEGA 3D glasses, I think for Master System.

Took them back the next day !

VR on Wii so the TC thinks the end is near for MS :lol:

You're gonna get flamed for saying the console war is over, but yeah, this is serious potential and may cause further trouble for Sony and MS.Erebyssial

wow this looks nice btw on yer sig its that the real disaster doc box art?

VRwill b nice

Keep reaching for that dream!

Keep reaching for that dream!

I wonder if this new stab at VR will yield the usual plethora of games supporting such a gimmicky device ! :twisted:

Nah, just fan art. I think it looks great though.

Hmm it's no big deal really. It's not like it will help the gameplay or anything. Cool feature but you're overracting.m_machine024

It's not a big deal in Boom Blox but imagine playing an FPS with it? (And I hope Valve uses this idea since they want to develop something for the Wii)

It's sales depend on the game using it.

Of course if the game has no hype or advertising (Which Boom Blox does't have) it won't sell that well. But if its a huge blockbuster game with tons of hype and advertising it will sell well.

the ps3 can do it also using the ps eye..

if its gonna be in games its going to be amazing for everyone..

But wow using this in a horror game would be a great idea. o_O lol

You have a point. I imagine that it was used in a game like Galaxy, it would have shown more popular. But at least Nintendo or some gaming company should sale thoses IR glasses. I don't see people making thoses by themselves or searching info to where they can buy them. I mean make them easily available for purchase at Wal-Mart or whatever.:P m_machine024

Nintendo just needs to support it. That would gaurentee it becoming popular.

I don't want a fracking Wii remote strapped around my head! My hair is too long and the strap will pull my hair and hurt me!Mutatedbloodelf

dude watch the video...the wiimote isnt strapped around your head.....the guy takes a pair of regular sunglasses and put two IR things on them...one on each side....its not a bad idea at all.....alot less of a mind stretching concept an periferal than the wiifit board

I just thought of something what if you used those glasses and tv goggles in addition to the wiimote and the wiifit board for an FPS game....that would be crazy.....like if you duck the guy on screen ducks...or you could lean around corners and shoot

Virtual Boy /Thread. black_awpN1

dude, do you even know what the virtual boy did...do you even know what it is?

This is two gens later with one of the systems main controller is motion sensing.....and the tech for vr is more available....

you laugh at this but what about those expensive computer VR mechanisms....they are worse than this IMO

Seriously as if things arent bad enough for Sony and MS, now they have to deal with the Wii having freakin VR? :lol:

Console war am over

Watch the demo in the link provided...

AMAZING :shock:

Spider-Jones

If im turing my freaken head the whole game how can i watch the tv? This is the exact opposite why i have not been a nintendo fan since the n64 b/c they think they have to be so different. JUST GIVE ME THE WAVEBIRD2 OMG.

You would enjoy that? I liek to relax and play while i smoke and have a beer! seriously if nintendo keeps up with this Wii mote and Goggle crap they will not even recognize there own failure if it comes.

Nintendo tried to do VR long time ago.

They ended up failing. Hard.

SpinoRaptor

Virtual boy was almost 13 years ago. Technology has come a long way since then. Just because something failed once it doesn't mean it'll fail again. The virtual boy was some goggles on a stand. You don't need to put your head into goggles to get the effect of this new technology. This is a lot more practical than the virtual boy.

first off...nintendo did come up with this....second of it is graphix whores who are obsessed with VR and if this was somehow implemented in crysis.. as a control option than noone would talk #$% including probably you...

and yes having the option and finances to experience a game this way when I want would be ridiculously immersive and fun...

dude...i own a 360 and got bored of it because everything this gen really isnt new...ive seen and played it all...and the wii is in the end the same way...but at least they...in the back of their minds know it....

well i dont think there would be any ownage or damage conltrol had every one known that THE PS3 CAN DO IT WITH THE EYECAM. they were able to do it once they found out the wii could, and worked on it right away. and no im not finding a link for you, if you care that much find it yourselfriver_rat3117

yes we know this......but sony came up with some form of motion control....they dont apply it...and when they do...they dont apply it well....and when the news of the PS3 eyecam ability broke out...all I heard was cows praising it and putting it in sheeps faces....and nobody said "virtual boy /thread"

I dont think it wouldnt be interesting to try, im just saying the Wii mote and its conrtoler are the reason why i wont buy one, why cant i just have the Wavebird 2 for christ sake?

You know what I see when I read that? "Boohoo, we're so persecuted!" I consider anything like this underwhelming and frankly some of you trying to push this as the second coming annoy me.
