MegaAwesome

Kotaku posted the new Johnny Lee video explaining how he made a head tracking system for a 3D display using a Nintendo Wii controller, and it is astounding. For the non-incredibly nerdy it might seem a little dry but you really have to get all the way through it to appreciate just how mind-bendingly awesome it is:

If you don’t care how it’s done, skip ahead to the 2:30 mark, that’s where things get crazy. Lee and others have done some really amazing things with the Wii hardware, but this is the first one that made me say ‘Wow!’ out loud.

Likewise, there are a number of 3D display developers out there and the technology is certainly maturing, but this is something else entirely. It’s all of the cutting edge tech in a $250 machine (that millions of people already own) and a pair of safety goggles, not a hyper-expensive setup that isn’t much past prototype.

Wow!
