Wiimote Communication
Using Nintendo's Wii controller as an input device for Processing and Max/Msp
Since a few weeks I’m following several blogs and discussions about using the Wii controller (aka. Wiimote) for triggering/manipulating software/hardware devices and Processing applications in particular.
This post is supposed to be a rough anthology of related links and resources that could become useful for further attempts to integrate the bluetooth and infrared based controller into design and interaction concepts.
Feel free to complete the list below.
