You can view an excellent demo of how to track your fingers with a Wii system here on You Tube: _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0awjPUkBXOU&feature=related_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0awjPUkBXOU&feature=related) Also worth checking out are Johnny Chung Lee's other Wii hacking videos. I particularly enjoy the one for 3D viewing: _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw) -Steven-> In a message dated 8/3/2008 12:01:20 P.M.

And I've been wondering for some time if is possible to set up some kind of "home" motion capture system. As far a Wii goes, a friend and PuppetCriter Mary Gragen was working on that very thing at the O'Neill Puppet Conference this summer. She did some very interesting things, using the Wii and an infrared LED glove that she built and performed live at the conference. She was able to get a lot of character out of some very simple green dots, each moving according to one of her fingers. But as to guys have already said, it's the lack of cheap software to translate that digital movement onto a digital character. This is a very exciting string, let's keep it up.
