wiiMote tracking demo: Light Saber from InsightVR on Vimeo.

I presented Marshie Attacks at PyCon 2008 today. This provided some motivation for getting the project posted online and whatnot. So I’ve put up this blog and also a very primitive project page at InsightVR.com to try to share this stuff.
