More efficient or just possible with computer interaction in hard cirtcumstances is one of my dreams (so tech geeky). I specially like input methods without standard keyboard. It's good to have touch screen and/or some kind of wearable pointing device.
I've been trying to get some results using web cam and motion analyzing software- to move mouse cursor or activate functions by waving hands. I haven't enough time to get it succesfull.
Then I saw some of Johny Lee Wiimote projects results- it's really impressive. All thanks to internal processing inside wiimote- all you get on output are coordinates of tracked points and values from accelerometers.
I've never been into wii- just another game console. One positive- it was introducing new kind of games. I'm reading about wiimote possibilities and it looks it gives a lot of possibilities for affordable price.
Probably I give up my web cam attempts as Johny Lee wrote on his blog:
The wii remote contains a 1024x768 camera with built-in hardware for IR blob tracking of upto 4 points at 100Hz. This significantly outperforms any $40 webcam I'm aware of. It'll work with a webcam, just not as well and not as easily.
I'm thinking to get one of these to hack it into something usable.
