Abstract

An easy to build and cost-effective 3D tracking solution is presented, using Nintendo Wii Remotes acting as cameras. As the hardware differs from usual tracking cameras, the calibration and tracking process has to be adapted accordingly. The tracking approach described could be used for tracking the user's motions in video games based upon physical activity (sports, fighting or dancing games), allowing the player to interact with the game in a more intuitive way than by just pressing buttons.
