There exist many types of game controllers in the market. Initially, joysticks were connected to game consoles. After game companies started to develop games for PC, PC equipments such as WebCam, Mouse, and Keyboard began to see some use in games. Other types of controllers were rare until the introduction of Nintendo’s Wii Remote. Its movement detection capability and its relatively low price attracted many researchers. This thesis introduces a different way to use Wii Remotes as a game controller, having Wii Remotes detect both arms of a player. Such usage enhances the capability of Wii Remote considerably. Normally, Wii Remote is used to retrieve 2D positions of 4 IR points at any particular time. With an enhancement introduced in this thesis, 3D position information of 6 IR points can be acquired. Moreover, methodologies for reducing errors in 3D calculation and predicting missing markers are also presented. With the proposed techniques, a system for detecting both human arms movement in three dimensions is constructed. The system can detect most common movements players use when playing games.
