Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space........ please rate and comment my video

Wow...
Nice one that looks awesome. For the multiplayer problem, couldn't you use virtual reality goggles? That would be amazing if it is possible to do that without all the LED's interfering with eachother!! Again, nice work buddy

Very nice.
This seems like the next logical step in gaming. All the technology is ready and available.

what the hell this is crazy so how does it actualy work? i dont understand how it makes it 3D when you are not wearing any actual VR headset, how does the senser bar interact with the TV to make it 3D?

  does it loo 3D because the person wearing the head tracker is directly infront of the TV?

- No..
  Its because the software he is using is recieving the signals from the wii remote of the sensor bar's position...then the software redraws the image (however many times) from a different perspective relative to the sensor bars position from the wii remote. I can imagine this technology being very cpu intensive...will the wii be able to handle it with 3d graphics, sounds and ai to deal with too??

  there is no actual 3d image at all....its just a 2d illusion that makes it look 3d...hope that helps
