DIY'er puts the Wiimote on your Xbox 360

From obsiv.spaces.live.com:
[QUOTE]
I (like many others) am a proud owner of a Wii60. Us Wii60 owners feel that we've got gaming all covered. Our Xbox 360 gives us top-class hard core online gaming in high definition. Our Wii gives us really unique gaming experiences because the Wiimote is like nothing else. But, what if we could get the best of the Xbox 360 and the best of the Wii, together, in a single game? I was curious, and the end result is my creation that I call Xbox 360 Input Machine (or, "XIM" for short).
Even though I chose to adapt a Wiimote to my Xbox 360, this system will work with any input device that a PC can recognize. This, of course, includes any gaming mouse and keyboard (wired or wireless) available.

I'd like to see a video of this thing in action against Xbox Live players. Was this done for just shits and giggles?

Call me a sceptic but damn that seemed to react too good to be real surely? blink.gif

If it is real I sure hope a device gets released so we can just plug in and go tongue.gif

very! It's a very cool DIY project he has thrown together here but without on screen aiming it doesn't add anything a mouse wouldn't provide with much better accuracy.

That is a really smart way of daisy-chaining seperate components. Just wish it was a less-expensive setup

Didn't look that smooth to me, I'm a bit skeptical on this one!

Anyone remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ4wzEEpk1A

I think its real. It's not like he said "OMG L@@K! Wiimote on teh 360 lol". If you read the page he provides some decent details.

It wont come out as a device as such, Hes using his own software to run those wii controllers. He has his Mini pc connected to them. (if you watch the vid) Soo this isnt possible without involving a pc in the equation.

That is pretty cool but he would get mopped by anybody with a standard controller. I can tell you first hand the wii mote is terrible for FPS, way to slow.

Just because a PC was involved doesn't mean its actually necessary. Specialized hardware and software can replace the pc easily.
