How To Build a Winscape

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-that's-pretty-cool dept.

hoagaboom writes "You take your plasma TVs, mix them with a healthy dose of OpenGL and a dash of Wii Remote. Bake for a year and enjoy something called a Winscape." Although I'm not sure I'm quite willing to wear a special necklace to make the effect work, it's a super sweet little project, although they want $10 for the software and then $10 for many of the actual video loops.

    If they get rid of that horrific looking necklace and use camera based person tracking the whole thing would be a lot more feasible. You can't honestly tell me that having to walk around your house with an IR emitter (guessing that's what it is based on the WiiMote) round your neck is a great prospect?

    And then what? Ask them, "Do you want to help me make another one?"

    I don't know. I'm just curious.

    Uh, over the long term, yes. Especially if they're in the "Baby Rabies" zone (29-39 years old, childless).
