Abstract
The main problem the project is to find the correct solution for 3D communication between the user and the machine The student has to design the devices needed to a correct communication between the Wii console and the user. It is 3D glasses with movement detector, gloves with detectors and a stand for the Wii remote. Castro Rodríguez, Marta; Tengstrand, Ragnar
