Half-Life 2 played in PC through Wiimote |
Ó
Now, onto other matters, maybe we could expect a couple of smashed computer monitors in the near future as well. It turns out that the recently released GlovePIE driver is sound technology and that you really can use your Wiimote for the PC. The motion-sensing aspect is a tad bit limited, true. However, the point here, really, is that it works.
This video uploaded by Bl4ckFr0g shows us a demo of the said "controller emulator." He's playing Half-Life 2 on his Mac with the Wiimote, and despite being (admittedly) sucky with the game, he gave a rather informative commentary. Check it out:
This GlovePIE software is still in its early Wiimote-to-PC stage, and it could happen that the limited motion-sensing capabilities would eventually develop to an expanded functionality.
So, are we expecting smashed PC monitors soon? What with exploding laptop batteries bursting into the scene, there's definitely some room left for some broken glass monitors and FUBAR'ed liquid displays to show up.

It will be nice when the pointer feature is taken advantage of... Props to the guys at WiiLi, for anyone who hasn't checked out their site, you should really go take a look. I don't know why there are so few Wii QJers...
i'm not surprised they've managed to do this, but i am impressed at the speed.
it's a pity it's only detecting that's it's been tilted, and not the speed with which it's been tilted, with that it could be an exciting way to play.
i'm gonna go check them out now.
by the way, i get my wii today, yay for me! (New Zealand release day)
I'm gonna buy a new laptop soon and I will make sure to get bluetooth now for sure. I would like to see the wii-mote responding a lot faster to the tilts and what nots cause lag is very evident but it's a good start and I see a lot of potential for it.
QJ.net is a tad slow with the news ;)
v0.23 of GlovePIE has been released, pointer functionality has been added
this is awesome. I opted for no bluetooth in my wireless card and am now regretting it. At least our IT has loads of broken dell laptops for salvaging :)
i wonder if u can use the nunchuck...
Too bad they aren't using the motion sensing AT ALL, and only the tilt sensor.
Still cool, but I'm waiting for someone to implement the sensor bar so you actually point where you shoot. I'm not saying this isn't impressive, but it won't help the controls any. This'll just make them clunkier. If someone can get Half-Life 2 running using the sensor, then I'll be truly amazed...
Someone must tell me the name of the song that starts playing at about 3:30 minutes into the video. i went to the site but i couldn't find it. : (
Awesome...whats even more awesome is that 0.24 has been released now too! yay, less bugs and better support, I really need a blue-tooth adapter now.....Halo with the wiimote anyone? Oh, the irony.
that guy has god damn sexy hands
