You’re feeling bored about the currently desktop? So, do you want to switch it into the latest Wiimote virtual reality desktop? Then, this is the right time for you to do now…

Do you believe that with two Nintendo Wii Remote (Wiimote), you can easily build up a virtual reality desktop? It might sound impossible, but the truth is you can really do it! Of course, instead of Wiimote, you still have to prepare the following components:

1. IR-LEDs,

2. Stripboards,

3. Battery holder,

4. Anaglyph 3D Glassed (Either in Red or Green Glasses),

5. Compatible PC Bluetooth adapter, and

6. Stack.

The term “Virtual Reality (VR)” has been around for many years, but is still associated with the special and expensive hardware. The Virtual Reality is only familiar in the research laboratories and big technology companies.

For your information, the speaking Virtual Reality can be differential by two things:

Immersion

The user is normally getting the impression of being inside a computer-generated world. Virtual Reality systems use the stereoscopic output devices to give the user a real 3D impression of the virtual world.

Interactivity

When the user is interacting with the virtual world, by navigation and manipulation of the objects, then the definition for Virtual Reality is complete.

By the way, this project will only cost you about $100 and you’ll get it done in less than 4 hours!
