DIY Desktop Virtual Reality Display on the cheap (Nintendo WII Only)

Johnny Lee, and his WIImote hacking tips has created a way to make 3D games (for the WII) a reality using DIY IR glasses. This is a really cool concept, the software tracks the movement of your head and adjusts the current display accordingly. I am definitely going to experiment with this technology.

Better browsing with Wiiminder for Wii’s Opera Browser

Wiiminder is a browser add-on (sort of) for the Wii’s internet channel Opera powered browser. Wiiminder allows you to have tagged bookmarks, tabbed browsing, and even choose which page the browser starts out on. To use Wiiminder it’s as simple as pointing the Wii browser to Wiiminder (just type it and go). We broke down and bought a Wii on Ebay a while back and while we are happy with the game play, some of the other features are not quite they way would like for them to be. The main thing I dislike is the internet channel featuring the Opera powered internet browser. I have had it crash on me I don’t know how many times and it is nothing like a real browser. It is great for watching YouTube.com videos or Google Videos while you lounge on the couch I will give it that. Wiiminder has made the experience a little less painful however I will not even attempt to compare it to a real browser and keyboard it’s just not the same.
