Darwiin Wii remote test with OSX and Halo - Video tutorial

wii

I recently came across the Darwiin remote App from the developer Hiroaki. At first (after folowing the instructions) it did not seem to work and after a bit of research it seems there is a slight bug. what u have to do is connect the Wiimote via Bluetooth wait for the error then restart the App and connect again and it works fine.

 

Once i had it connected, i then configured the controls to how i wanted the Wiimote to handle and he-presto it worked! I then began testing it with various different Apps, it works very well and its quite precise, has a huge range (i tested it from another room and it worked) and adds a great new dimension to interacting with a Mac. The only issue i found was that there is no double click option, it simply does not work, to open a desktop folder you have to right click then select open on the menu. 

 

Anyway, below is a walkthrough for the Darwiin interface and a couple of tests i did on the desktop and a couple of games (excuse the poor game-play in halo, it was a bit difficult to control, haha).
