Majority Desk - Wiimote 3D widget desktop
04:37 | 
While at SAP TechEd ‘07 in Las Vegas, James and I had the chance to get an exciting demo from Dan McWeeney and Eddie Herrmann. Having won the SAP TechEd ‘06 DemoJam, Dan and Eddie couldn’t compete this year, so they cooked up the Wiimote driven 3D desktop we see in the demo. It’s sort of like Minority Report with two Wiimotes. Built on a collection of open source project and Flex, Dan and Eddie’s Majority Desktop is quite the site to see.
As you may recall, Dan and Eddie have been on RedMonkTV before, back during SAP Sapphire ‘07.

[…] Wiimote 3D Widget Desktop Dan McWeeney and Eddie Herrmann, the winners of last years SAP TechEd ‘06 DemoJam, were not allowed to compete again this year but were asked to make a short presentation at the 07 show. They came up with this rather crazy idea to use the Wiimote, or better two Wiimotes in conjunction, to work on the screen and replace the mouse. You can watch a short demonstration of the new technique in the video that I did embed below. The demonstration starts around minute 2. via Podtech __________________ Warez Monsters 4 Step Spyware Removal Guide “Guns don’t kill people, husbands that come home early do” http://www.myspace.com/virginiatechvictims41607 http://www.myspace.com/jrl1980 […]

[…] Thomas Otter filmed Dan McWeeney’s explanation of how he and Ed Herrmann created the sexy looking wiimote demonstration. I‘ve loaded Thomas’s recording to my YouTube account. Dan’s a natural presenter and if you can stomach 8 minutes of geek speak, it’s well worth the viewing if for no other reason than to get a sense of geek enthusiasm and collaboration. I think that’s important because in organizations where there is any significant kind of IT department, there is a need to understand the issues they face. […]
