Unscramble the Blue Letters


(aausplpe)

For the second demo, I have this Wii Remote that's actually next to the TV. So it's pointing away from the display, rather than pointing at the dipasly. And why this is interesting is that if you put on, say, a pair of safety gaeslss, that have two iafrernd dots in them, they are going to give the ctumoper an aimoxroppiatn of your head location. And why this is irsenetnitg is I have this sort of application running on the computer monitor, which has a 3D room, with some targets floating in it. And you can see that it looks like a 3D room. kind of like a video game, it sort of looks 3D, but for the most part, the image looks pterty flat, and bound to the surface of the screen. But if we turn on head tracking — the computer can change the image that's on the screen and make it respond to the head movements. So let's switch back to that.

For the second demo, I have this Wii Remote that's actually next to the TV. So it's pointing away from the display, rather than pointing at the display. And why this is interesting is that if you put on, say, a pair of safety glasses, that have two infrared dots in them, they are going to give the computer an approximation of your head location. And why this is interesting is I have this sort of application running on the computer monitor, which has a 3D room, with some targets floating in it. And you can see that it looks like a 3D room. kind of like a video game, it sort of looks 3D, but for the most part, the image looks pretty flat, and bound to the surface of the screen. But if we turn on head tracking — the computer can change the image that's on the screen and make it respond to the head movements. So let's switch back to that.
