Seems like we are reinventing the wheel in here

My setup i have posted before used a hmd, with a gyration air mouse mounted on top and a wii zapper gun consisting of a wii remote, motion+ and nunchuck mounted in a cheap plastic gun. Basically it is dual mouse emulation with bound keys for movement and other options. You can hold a button on teh wiimote to use teh tracking or not so you can easily switch between head or gun tracking or both, it works quite well. Cant recommend gyration air mouse any more highly, these things are great.

(I think) this the wii script i used, the mouse tracking is jittery but fun enough. Note i always bind 'e' to jump in my fps and space to duck, makes sense right?

Key.W = Wiimote1.Nunchuk.up
Key.a = Wiimote1.Nunchuk.left
Key.s = Wiimote1.Nunchuk.down
Key.d = Wiimote1.Nunchuk.right
Key.E = Wiimote1.Nunchuk.ZButton
Mouse.LeftButton = Wiimote1.Nunchuk.CButton

if starting then
// define deadzone, calibration and sensitivity
var.calibrationGyro = [-1.5, -0.5] // [Yaw, Pitch]
var.deadzoneGyro = [7, 7] // [Yaw, Pitch]
var.sensitivityGyro = [0.55, 0.65] // [Yaw, Pitch]; lower values result in slower movements, negative values will invert the corresponding mouse axis
endif

// hold B to move mouse with WiiMote
if (WiiMote.B) then
var.Gyro = [0, 0]
if (Abs(WiiMote.MotionPlus.YawSpeed + var.calibrationGyro[1]) > var.deadzoneGyro[1]) then var.Gyro[1] = RemoveUnits(WiiMote.MotionPlus.YawSpeed + var.calibrationGyro[1]) - (Sign(WiiMote.MotionPlus.YawSpeed) * var.deadzoneGyro[1])
if (Abs(WiiMote.MotionPlus.PitchSpeed + var.calibrationGyro[2]) > var.deadzoneGyro[2]) then var.Gyro[2] = RemoveUnits(WiiMote.MotionPlus.PitchSpeed + var.calibrationGyro[2]) - (Sign(WiiMote.MotionPlus.PitchSpeed) * var.deadzoneGyro[2])
Mouse.DirectInputX = Mouse.DirectInputX + (var.Gyro[1] * var.sensitivityGyro[1])
Mouse.DirectInputY = Mouse.DirectInputY + (-1 * var.Gyro[2] * var.sensitivityGyro[2])
endif
if wiimote.b = false then var.1 = 2
if wiimote.b = true then var.1 = 10

mouse.LeftButton = wiimote.A
mouse.RightButton = wiimote.Plus

if wiimote.down = true then mouse.directinputy = mouse.directinputy + var.1
if wiimote.up = true then mouse.directinputy = mouse.directinputy - var.1
if wiimote.left = true then mouse.directinputx = mouse.directinputx - var.1
if wiimote.right = true then mouse.directinputx = mouse.directinputx + var.1


The first thing i realised once i got this setup is that i needs real movement tracking

My previous script using Nunchuk with MotionPlus had the same issue.

What you need to do is connect the Wimote + Motion Plus without Nunchuk first. Click RUN in GlovePIE and connect the Wiimote by pressing 1 + 2. Once connected and calibrated, stop the script and plug in the Nunchuk. Then run the script again and it should be working fine. Again, I suggest getting the PS3 Navigator as it come with more button and wireless. You can press down the joystick as "Shift" for either sprint or steady sniping mode.

Cant you detect when you hold your breath and steady the scope?

my wiimotes are already connected via my toshiba bluetooth driver software, so I dont know what you mean by saying "press 1+2 to connect"
They are allready connected.
But when the nunchuck is pluged in the gyros are disabled... WHY???

Hi guys,
Completely new here. I was looking for the guy who posted the amazing HMZ-T1 wireless VR FPS gaming video on youtube. Uploaded by rjyap1 on Dec 27, 2011
I would like to hear how he build this setup or something similar for a blog I maintain. It´s focused on the European Tech scene so maybe this is completely the wrong spot to ask.

(and yes I have been in stereo since ´90´s, wrote a 3D renderer in 1990, have an auto-stereoscopic monitor etc. so I´m not just some dumbo

That's me! If you need a step by step video on the setup, I'll do that next 2 weeks when I have free time.

Anybody willing to shed some light on the use of Logitech Mx Air mouse vs other alternatives for head tracking in FPS gaming? I'm thinking no need for other layers of software or emulation would make it a better candidate for the job but I have no first hand experience so I might be missing something. And the on-mouse "back" button that can be used to center view without any need for such an ingame keybinding should be a plus.
