Wii Spray - Thesis & Documentation – a Book with 196 PAGEs
(sorry only GERMAN! )

Now finaly the Wii Spray-server is  done!
In fact that we need more and particular different funktions,
we had to wrote an own Server.
He based basically on Open source version of the Wii Flash-server
for OS X by Alan Ross, plus the two libraries WiiRemoteJ and BlueCove .

more after the 25th. of march

» Designed for regular use with the Nintendo Wii and for the
three Dimensional interaction concept of Wii Spray.

» A real add-on for the Wii, just plug the Wii Remote in the
Wii Spray Can and start!

» Buttonless design, easy use for left-and-right-handed persons. 
Wii Spray uses an input interface similar to the Montana donut system.

» Pressure sensitive valve, up to 128 Values.

» Up to 128 different caps - inexpensive technology (less than 40 cent)
and build to resist!

» Interactive color display with the possibillity to show
the color level in six steps! just in case…

» USB port for charging the battery and load the latest firmware.

» the Wii Spray 2nd  edition controller is able to sense its distance to the wall you are spraying on.

thanks to Jens Hauspurg!

Since yesterday Montana Cans has taken the role of our official
support for Wii spray. We think that this step will be beneficial for both:
the writer and developer.

In thinking of Target i thought a stencil option could be nice…
so what you see here is 100% made with WiiSpray second edition 
and his engine!

Thx to Target for the demo stencil set

here you can see “Wii Spray second edition”.  
you can`t see everything, but enough to understand !

Today i got emails from some friends, with a link to Spiegel-online.de.

http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/mobil/0,1518,587759,00.html 

In this way we like to thank Spiegel Online and “Sascha Koesch / Fee Magdanz / Robert Stadler” for the article. But please during the next articles work with more precison, maybe you understand somthing wrong …
 

WiiSpray IS NOT MADE FOR PAINTING BUILDINGS, it’s a technical experiment!

“What is the „WiiSpray“ project?
 

Basically it is not about replacing real graffiti as a form of art. WiiSpray is rather to be seen as an interface to give graffiti a new virtual level outside of the real existing world.”
 

WiiSpray Press Release Text 

 
now we have to go back to work and write new software for WiiSpray v2 and its new hardware.

The second prototype of WiiSpray is done. New Design, features and hardware.
What can i say…. please be patiently and give a litte bit more time, so that i can write the theory part my Diploma …

we did not expect such a huge interest on this technical experiment. Since i made Wii spray to my Masterthesis, I hope everybody can understand that i can’t publish all informations till the final presentation. I the near future you will find here some Information about parts of the project.

So But for now a small text in advance….. what it can be…

Have you ever been interested in creating an illegal grafitti?

No? Go for it! Everything is legal! Nothing will be destroyed or damaged. Everything is virtual. Imagine a virtual wall. Using your browser you select the background of your choice and start spraying with your digital spray can. 

The basic idea was to build a computer hardware interface which is similar to an existing analog tool. An new interface will force new experiences. Forget about keyboard and mouse: with WiiSpray we created a new human computing interface (HCI). The use of WiiSpray is similar of using a real spray can – but without the colour and the toxic smells. WiiSpray is based on Adobe Flash, a WiiFlashServer and the Nintendo Wii® device. With this techology and a computer supported technology it is possible to move wireless through the space. You don´t need to learn this device – just start spraying intuitively. And the best is, after finishing your grafitti you can upload it to our website and look at it at any time from everywhere. But not enough – now it is my diplom thesis! I`m planning to build a new spraycan with more functionsand also an advanced software with collaborative spraying option, different caps, different colours…. and maybee different Sprayers make an appointment and create grafitties together: online! The communication will take place by the picture and will be videochatsupported.

Have your own experience in the end of fall 2008!

WiiSpray – a technical experiment.
