Johnny Lee, a Ph.D. graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, has made a name for himself in the gaming community by doing some pretty nifty things with the Nintendo Wii and the Wiimote. While I thought the Minority Report style interaction was interesting, and the virtual white board could be useful, none of his projects have inspired me as much as his most recent one: Using the Wii to create a VR display. With a little engineering trickery, Lee managed to use the Wii sensor bar and the Wiimote to create an interface that moves and interacts with you as if it were an actual window into another physical space. The 3D effect - at least to a camera's single eye - is more than a little impressive. Sadly, the effect is difficult enough to set up that I can't imagine a game developer ever releasing a title that requires you to do it, at least not without releasing some custom hardware for it. Still, as Lee basically says in his video, it would be pretty cool.
