Default Wii does Minority Report... For real!
We've all seen the recent Johnny Chung Lee video, where he uses head tracking with the Wii to show the true potential that lies there...

Well, Cynergy Labs have now done their own 'Hack' of the Wii to create 'Multi-Touch at a distance' using Minority Report style IR gloves.

Couple this with the head tracking and the potential is mind blowing!

Wiimote re-purposed for glove-based multi-touch system - Engadget

Really impressive stuff!!

Wow.

This has so much potential, I hope Nintendo get in on the action.

The best use I can think of so far is Trauma centre. Actual stitching.

Think about mixing head tracking and This together...

You could've just made one hell of a boxing game!!

So much potential it's unbelievable!

Erm.... Would 2 remotes picking up each different signal not work?

I'm just guessing here!
