Wiimote Head Tracker

This open source project developed at the Inclusive Design Research Centre explored the potential use of an off-the-shelf wiimote to recreate the functionality of significantly more expensive, purpose-specific head trackers for pointer control in the Windows OS. The performance of the prototype created was equivalent to the most commonly used commercial products.
