Wii Remote Plus joins Kinect and Vuzix shades for 2011's weirdest VR shooter yet (video)

The natural evolution to Nao_u's impressive Kinect- and Vuzix-infused already impressive virtual reality simulator? Guns, of course. A Wii Remote Plus has been added to his project, joining Microsoft's sensor and VR920 LCD glasses for a VR shooting game that involves, well, lobbing paintballs out of a P90 rifle towards flying disembodied anime characters. Make no mistake, it's a great technical demo chock full of aesthetic eccentricities. Full details via the developer's diary, video after the break.

Pretty weird shooter game, but it looks kind of fun.

so they added the Wii remote to the kinect?

I think the Wiimote Plus is use for the gun's control, and the Kinect is used for recording the guys arms and leg movement in the game.

that's how kinect should have been built.

People now a days are so obsessed with evolving, that analog means nothing anymore... Very said for the true hardcore gamers. Motion control is fine by me, like Wii and Move, but I hate Kinect because it has no controls.
