    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    Some bluetooth adaptors will have trouble pairing a Wiimote using 1+2 . Try pairing by pressing the Sync button in the battery compartment. If that does not work, try another bluetooth adaptor or try with Toshiba drivers

    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    You will need two bright IR light sources. The sensor bar is basically 4+4 LEDs on each side of the sensor bar that is filtered for IR light. I do not think kinect is able to achieve this. Yes. Especially if you pair a wiimote with the sync button. That way you can have touchmote start at...

    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    Yes of course, I try to not rush anything. I try to think about the code structure and how to make it extendable. Also I make sure that it is stable before I upload anything for download and I test it on two clean virtual machines for both architectures. But thanks for the reminder :) I can not...

    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    Yes most bluetooth adapters which are using Microsoft's bluetooth drivers should work. I have noticed some cheaper ones are not able to permanently pair a Wiimote (which enables you to connect it automatically by pressing any button on the Wiimote, after it's been turned off), but that's about...

    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    My solution is based on emulating a touch screen, which means with Windows 8 being made for touch screens, the only thing you need to do is to hold the A button on the Wiimote and drag it left or right or up or down to scroll anything on the screen, like you would dragging it with the finger...

    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    The app only work with original original for the time being. To be honest i didn't know there were any differences in pairing until I looked it up now. But I'll look into implementing both. It is not heavily tested in the web browser but as far as I have tested it works as expected. Watching...

    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    Haha I'm sorry to come with these news now ^^ No it is very accurate and it is no problem sitting in the couch and navigate everything in the Metro interface.

    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    The only things you need is a Wii Remote and a Wireless Sensor Bar, I got both of those for under $45 The edge guestures works very well! I have specifically programmed the app to handle these guestures well. It might be tricky to do it the first time but when you get it its flawless.

    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    A big part of it is from other open source projects, but none has ever made the pointer be used as touch control. It also includes the drivers and bluetooth syncing.

    Is Windows 8 + Wiimote the perfect HTPC setup?

    Yes it is! I have written an application which allows you to use your Wiimote as a touch device, and it feels like Windows 8 was made for this! Find it free and open source at Touchmote.net !
