The Wii3D Project System
Software
The Wii3D System's design was separated into several components:
- Operating System and Frameworks
- Bluetooth Stack
- Libraries
- Point Tracker
- Gesture Recognizer
- User Interface
Each of the components is discussed to enable a user to set up the Wii3D System and understand how each component fits together.
Operating System and Frameworks
The personal computer was loaded with Windows 7 and the Microsoft Bluetooth driver was installed to run the Bluetooth dongle. The runtime environment selected was the Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 and was built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 as the integrated development environment.

- Windows 7
- Bluetooth
Bluetooth Stack
The Microsoft Bluetooth Stack was used in the implementation of Wii3D. The connection manager made use of a third party library, 32feet.Net, containing the InTheHand.Net assembly that exposes managed interfaces that allow the connection, pairing and management of Bluetooth devices using the stack. It would be possible to use stacks other than the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack (for example BlueSoleil, Widcomm etc.), provided that these Bluetooth drivers and software enable the use of the Human Interface Device profile.
