I got home last night, fired up the laptop and installed a Bluetooth adapter (which took longer than Windows to install... why is that?!) to link my Wiimote to the PC.

Within a few minutes I had managed to create a link between the PC and the Nintendo Wii remote, downloaded the software from here and was up and running.

Ok, I looked like a fool dancing around my room holding my Wii sensor bar to my forehead, but the 3d effect produced on the tiny screen was truly awesome! And well worth the effort.

Next steps:

1 – Link the laptop to the big TV to enhance the effect (need to by a VGA to Composite lead)

2 – Get hold of some Infrared LEDs, a pair of safety glasses, some glue, a battery and other electronic bits to make the head tracking device (or HTD from now on – I’m doing this properly after all!!)

3 – Create a 3D program that I can interact with, utilizing the power of the PC and the interaction made available by the HTD*

So I have a wireless Wii Sensor bar coming in the post from Amazon (I see this as the easiest way of getting the bits I need...) which should arrive tomorrow!

The only question left is what am I going to do with it once I have it all set up?

Answers on a postcard to the usual address!

*er... I should probably learn how to write C# to do all this too!
