Congrats, that’s pretty excieting. Must feel like flying.

The concept of the software is great, but you should use this for something else than Google Earth.
I would really like to download the software, and try to make it with some games, that you can use just the mouse with.

Thank you, I will express my opinion.
It might lead the developers to do other interesting things, and it’s perhaps good practice for future endeavors, but this is not breakthrough work.
I have no hatred in my heart, this is simply my opinion. Feel free to keep hatin’ on my if you want. I can take it.

express it then, like anyone cares. no standing on a wii board probably isnt the best way to use google earth, and yes its obviously just a proof of concept but whatever it is is still pretty cool, quit hatin’

Hey somebody post the program used to control a wii fit on pc

i totally agree, if i want to use google earth, why not just use my mouse…….this is totally impractical, why not use a wii to do cool shit, like fly an airplane in a simulator or something

wow, what a zinger of a comeback.
come on guy, i was asking a serious question. if that’s all you have, you’re just proving my point.
i’m not saying it’s not a little interesting but it’s not especially novel work. why is it people can’t take criticism these days, it’s not like i said they can’t do good work, this just isn’t my idea of an exciting innovation. other people may have a different opinion, to each his own. but i will not shut up, i am entitled to express my opinion.

shut up its cool

Sorry to sound critical guys, but what have you shown except that you can use a Wii balance board to do things normally possible with other controls? Considering the techno music and the big screen projection, I can’t quite tell if you are trying to do reality immersion, start an exercise dance club, or what. Is leaning on a board really the best interface for most people? How is what you’re doing changing the way people can interact? Or is it just proof of concept?

why does he stand like that on the board, he knows that he’s on ehte floor and he dosn’t have 2 stand like ethat

you don’t know what yaw means

I find the results kind of underwhelming but the promise of more creative applications exciting.
Perhaps if the altitude was reduced the immersion would be increased or a simulator was used instead of few programs presented.

germans are smart, I think i’m 1/3 german : ).

I think its mainly yawing not turning, although the sofware looks capible to change the “yaw” constraints to “turn” constraints, I think it may be easier to yaw and maybe its just personal prefrence.
The wobble balance board works on 4 sensors, if the front two have roughly the same weight then it will not turn it will just move forward, if the back two sensors have most of the weight evenly distributed then it will go backwards in a strait line.
