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

Theconsolewasknownbythecodenameof"Revolution"untilApril27,2006.TheNintendo StyleGuidereferstotheconsoleas"simplyWii,notNintendoWii",makingitthefirsthome

Inthebeginningoftheproject,thestudentdesignedaglasseswithoneledseachsideofit; andagloveswithledsattheendofthefingers.Thereceptorofthelightwasgoingtobe designedbythestudentsfromSpain. But,theglassesandtheglovesneededmorethanoneledeachside.Theyneededseveral

Finally,thestudentdesignedalighttransmitter,sotheglassesandtheglovesdidnotneed giveoutlight,theyneededtoreflectthelightemitted.  Development
