Very cool effect, id love to see some games that utilized this technology.

Yes, that guy is the man. He did another video that shows finger tracking so you can interact with computers like they do in Minority Report. The Wii was also just recently hacked to allow homebrew to run natively on the wii hardware, so we should be seeing some homebrew games coming out soon that take advantage of this.

That'd be amusing to set it up with a person on the screen who would watch someone walk into and around the room.
"Help, the TV is watching me!"

[BeauJangles]

Wow. And I thought his last Wii project was cool. That's pretty amazing.

That is pretty cool.... would be sweet in flight sims and first person shooters.

 

[lokiju]

That's amazing.

I'm going to have to give that a try once I get my Wii.

bump for the night crowd

Am I the only one who thinks he sounds like Kermit the Frog?

Just found this video and thought it was worthy of a bump.

This is REALLY freaking cool, and if Nintendo doesn't give this guy a well-paid developing job, they're retarded.

Really cool, and it's actually so simple that it could be easily implemented. One of those things where you think "why haven't they thought of that before?"

 

[GeneValgene]

pretty cool! looks like EA is going to be implementing this as a demo:
