Introducing Touchmote, a Windows app to control the Windows 8 Metro interface from your couch.
Swipe, scroll and tap by pointing your Wiimote on your screen or HDTV.
Visit http://touchmote.net/ for a compiled installer.
Touchmote is based on the WiiTUIO project which allows data from a Wii Remote to be translated as genuine Windows touch events.
Touch position is calculated using the Wii Sensor Bar.
The application is developed in primarily C# .NET 4.5 and some C++.
1x Nintendo Wii Remote
1x Wireless Wii Sensor Bar
1x Bluetooth enabled computer with Windows 8
Please use the GitHub Issue tracker to report bugs. Always include the following information:
- System configuration, including Bluetooth device vendor and model
- Steps to reproduce the error
- Expected output
- Actual output
- Install the Touchmote test certificate by running the installer from touchmote.net
- Get the source and open Touchmote.sln with Microsoft Visual Studio. Make sure Visual Studio is run with admin priviliges.
- If you want to use the debugger, edit the file called app.manifest and change uiAccess to false. Otherwise the app has to be run under Program Files. This is for the cursor to be able to show outside the desktop.
- Go to Build->Configuration manager...
- Choose solution platform for either x86 or x64 depending on your system. Close it and Build.
