3D Wii Manipulation of Photos (WIMP)

• There is a file called "config.dat" in the "WIMP/executable" directory. Some of the parameters needed to be modified so that you can run the program accurately. Use Notepad or other text editors to open "config.dat".
   
  • "screenHeight" is the height of your computer screen measured in mm.
   
  • "sensorBarWidth" is the distance between the rightmost and the leftmost IR LEDs on the glasses, it is also measured in mm.
   
  • "screenAspect" can be zero because the program will get the value automatically.
   
  • "cameraIsAboveScreen" indicates whether your Wiimote will be placed above the screen or below the screen, set "True" if the Wiimote will be placed above the screen, "False" if the Wiimote will be placed below the screen
 
• Connect the Wiimote to your computer using bluetooth.
 

After you just start the program, you need to put on the headset, stand in front of the Wiimote about 1 meter and then press "Space" to do calibration. This program can be divided into three levels: folder selection, photo selection and photo view. In these three levels, you can move your head to make the 2D scene become 3D when you are wearing the headset. In addition, you can use the IR LED pen to peform different kinds of gesture in order to operate the WIMP program. Below are three sample gestures, LEFT, UP and LEFTUP: Note: LEFT means you stand in front of the screen, use the IR LED pen to point to the Wiimote, press and hold the switch, then move your hand leftwards and release the switch. LEFTUP means you stand in front of the screen, use the IR LED pen to point to the Wiimote, press and hold the switch, then move your hand to top-left and release the switch. Others have similar meaning. The operations for different levels are listed below. Special operation:
