You've seen Johnny before on Channel 9 talking to Robert Hess.  Johnny's a legend (in my mind) in the computer vision space, and he put up with me gushing at him here at Mix09.

He has a session scheduled for MIX09 called "Interaction Techniques Using the Wii Remote" where he will show off some interesting uses he has found for using the Wii Remote as a PC input device, as well as several other devices he has put together to utilize in various computer input scenarios. I thought it would be fun to chat with him about his work creating some of these devices, and get some pointers on how others might benefit from this as well.

You can also find some videos of his experiments here:

And here is the description of the session he is doing at MIX09:

Interaction Techniques Using the Wii Remote (and Other HCI Projects)
by: Johnny Lee

The Wii remote is a sophisticated controller containing a variety of sensing capabilities. In this session, Johnny Lee covers several interaction techniques enabled by the Wii remote and explains how you can develop your own applications. Johnny also introduces a few of his other research projects in the broader domain of Human-Computer Interaction.

So she and her pals line up and they're group #595. Clearly this isn't at the front of the line. Anyway- as luck would have it- they got called up around 2:30 am because they are press, and she finally got her brand new Wii. So she's walking- nay, SKIPPING - home when she sees a mom sitting in line with two kids sleeping in her lap.  Apparently it was one of the sons 11th birthday the next day and all his little heart wanted in this world was a Nintendo Wii. So....my friend sold her Wii for the same price she paid for it and went home Wii-less. She left with her sad Zelda game that she couldn't play...but made one kids eleventh birthday the BEST EVER. I love gamers Smiley

A good friend of mine- and HUGE gamer, has been anxiously awaiting the launch of the Wii so she could camp out in line, grab her new console and enjoy her wii-kend.
