Aforementioned visual synthsizer slash exercise tool WiiWhorld has been released for public consumption.
Jeff Mission has tied together GlovePIE (for Bluetooth/Wiimote input (previously on CDMo)), Whorld, and his own secret sauce (a GlovePIE script to control Whorld).
Put them all together with a dash of virtual midi port, and you get this:
Or as Jeff describes it:
Whorld is a free, open-source, live visual synthesizer for sacred geometry. It uses math to create a seamless animation of mesmerizing psychedelic images. You can VJ with it, make unique digital artwork with it, or sit back and watch it like a screensaver. The WiiWhorld project makes it possible to control the Whorld visualizer with the Nintendo Wiimote.
Thanks for the link! I just updated my blog page with more information on the Wiimote mappings – what each of the buttons and accelerometers do.
For non-Wiimote users, I also have a speech command script for Whorld – to be published soon…
somehow similar: wiiwiiwiiwii
Really is amazing how much homebrew stuff is being done with the Wiimote that has nothing to do with 'video'-games' as such… Nintendo must be stoked.
IMO the real hero here is MEMS, not Nintendo… i wonder if nintendo had any idea this sort of thing would come so soon after the Wii's release! (as if it wasn't hard enough to get WiiMotes in some places)
cool..but it looks like a itunes visualizer with wii controller…
[…] interesting is that our friend Jeff Mission, maker of the generative, Wiimote-controllable software WiiWhorld, has written scripts allowing you to control Fractice with gestures on your Nintendo Wii remote. […]
