Virtual Reality coming to my home
I had overheard people talking about using Nintendo’s ‘Wii’ game controllers with their computer, but I had never seen it used before. This grad student at Carnegie Mellon is up to some really cool stuff, and it looks like something I might be able to do with home DVR. He has three projects that I might install in my own home: a “Minority Report”-style controller for the TV; an immersive scene (just for fun); and a digital whiteboard.
