Today I got the entire unit togther (minus a camera casing due to some issues physically accessing the wiimote to turn it on, doh! - new case is tomorrow’s task) and actually had my first go at using the unit and seeing video from it’s point of view.

Ignoring the rubbish quality of the camera (still to decide if it’s worth investing in a more expensive one) I was somewhat dissappointed by the results. Jerkiness, slow response rate and inconsistent movement really brought the whole experience down.

This is an experience prototype so this failing is a big deal and must be changed. I’m unsure to what degree the shittiness (pardonez moi) is hardware or software related but some time is needed fine tuning, or starting over, the code.

I shot a quick video and merged it with a screencast of the webcam - I’ll post it later tonight as I’m on my iPhone at the moment.

I’m really beginning to lose faith in both the project and myself. sigh cry me a river…
