Correct since the Wiimote uses infrared sensors to track position and a flame is a great infrared source.
So, short of waving the bar thing around or powering up and waving an infrared led, you used a lighter.
Come on everyone who says this is pointless and crap, it’s not, it’s a unique use of the Wii controls. If you think it’s pointless, then go watch something else, after all the title was clear about what he was doing.
Guys, come on… Not EVERYTHING requires a point to make it cool. He’s painting Simulated Fire with Fire! It’s an art, of sorts. I’m sure you Could do something similar with a standard webcam instead of a wiimote, invert the left and right signals and make it “mirrored” anyway. How he’s doing it, what he’s doing, all cool. Does it have a point? Does it need to?
I am moving a real flame around and, subsequently, simulated fire is drawn on the screen in front of me.
If the lighter was not there then I would just be a person waving my arm around in a dark room.
I would say that the lighter constitutes the lion’s share of the point.
sorry. so the lighter is kind of pointless then isn’t it
That is not a sentence.
so the lights kinda pointless then
Is there a software mac?
lol. What a dilemma. Btw, I like the effects in this video with the squiggly line highlighting.
Then it would go the correct way left/right, but up/down would be inverted instead!
I think that if you put your Wiimote upside down, the fire would go the correct way.
great idea!, but you should consider removing the tissue box from your computer the next time…
pretty pointless
wow, very nice video!, FIRE!!!.. cool
great vid, thanks!
