Studies and works in progress (4)

A lot of publications are available around the world. This article gives, again, a short overview of two of them. Furthermore, some "works in progress" about a wiimote use have been noticed, here :

Abstract	This paper introduces a novel approach for retrieving user-specified motions using the acceleration information obtained from Wii controllers. The major focus of this work is to develop a system, which would help professional animators as well as common users to extract a specified motion fragment from a motion capture database using the acceleration information obtained from the Wii controllers.
