Interview with Masaya Matsuura
Wii Music
I’ve rented this and toyed around with it for about half an hour. My thoughts are somewhat similar with this review here:
Wii Music game review on Gamespot
It’s a good reference on how the Wiimote can imitate different instruments. I’m just not sure how much of a “game” is there; the game stages are not clear with its objective and challenges. The improv part is probably funner.
Wiimote and Openframeworks
I went to the openframeworks workshop today, and asked around for using Wiimote with OF. There are lots of response where the OSC library in OF can be used to send Wiimote data.
Glovepie, a scripting language that works with Wiimote, can send OSC output. By theory, if OF listens to the same port as Glovepie sends osc message to, OF can thus do stuff with the Wiimote data.
The problem is, Glovepie crashes when I try to run scripts that sends out OSC data.
