Wiimote + Graffiti

picture

Earlier this week, cwright made a little composition that lets you draw on the screen. Then we combined it with the wiimote patch and a digital projector, and got the following nifty ability:

That's Matt Radcliffe drawing on a hotel room wall using a wiimote. The grafitti patch keeps a queue of previous images as sprites when the screen is cleared.

As you can see, Matt isn't wearing his wrist strap. this means that in furious bouts of drawing, lamps, TVs, and small children may become damaged by flying Wii Remotes. Don't try this at home. :)

I was actually hoping to try it at home. Any chance of getting the composition?

Hmmm... i happen to have done a pretty advanced paint tool with QC, like a stripped down photoshop. I'm going to have to try it with the wii stuff!

Right now it's hard-wired to be controlled by midi stuff, but after our show tonight, I'll try to generalize it and post it here for others to play with :)

(The controlling is for colors and sequencing/replay... specific to our performance)

I have done similar stuff

I have done similar stuff but using processing. http://www.vimeo.com/1432337 I would love to test how this one performs

This was actually inspired in part by your video :) This one isn't quite as complete as yours, but it works for our needs (quick sketches mixed live and played back in sync with audio loops)

So thank you, Alex, for the cool idea and inspiration :)

Cool That is what I had in

Cool That is what I had in mind to work next. Simple looping animation that will respond to the music. I would love to see yours.

Chris, what kind of performance is this.... a visual/dj thing? An art installation? Are you a musician as well?

It's primarily a music performance, but there are interactive graphics as well. So art I guess :)

I'm not much of a musician, but I've been known to write some pretty decent code from time to time... :)
