This summer on eCamp Israel: Meet the WiiMan Super Hero!


Hi everyone,
It's time to get to know few members of our team on eCamp Israel.
One of the coolest guys we found for eCamp is Rafael Mizrahi.

Rafael Mizrahi is an artificial vision and experience explorer at
Feng-GUI Lab and a GarageGeeks member.

This summer on eCamp - Introducing WiiMan!

WiiMan the Super Hero
WiiMan is a full action figure costume of a super hero that functions
as a Nintendo WiiMote remote.
This project combines Gaming, Technology and Useless Activity to the extreme.
Building a full action figure custom of a super hero called WiiMan.
The custom acts as a fully functional Nintendo WiiMote remote with buttons, bluetooth, accelerometers, and an IR cam. imagine this setup on the stage, a young boy plays Wii, and
he is frustrated from his score. He thinks out loud "if only WiiMan
was here to help me" WiiMan enter the scene with his waving cloak and
plays with the boy."

Another project of Rafael Mizrahi is:

Guitar Heronoid

An android that plays the Guitar Hero game. A computer processes the video feed from the PlayStation2, detects where, when and how to play and moves the fingers accordingly. This project was done by GarageGeeks members Rafael Mizrahi and Tal Chalozin.
