Not sure if it will work in SU 8
Most likely it will. Shouldn't be anything in SU8 that isn't in SU6. Just try it.

Don't be surprised Mike, iv mentioned wii remotes and microsofts kinetc as useful tools for SU and no 1 showed interest, I even had ideas where it would work, I once hacked my wii remote and created a vurtual window on my laptop, where ever I moved in the room the laptop screen gave the illusion I was looking tru a window instead of a flat screen, and I'd I moved towards the laptop I would see more like you would if you moved closer to the window, even a kinect can do 3D scanning, a Kinect retails at β¬150 if not cheaper now, very affordable 3D scanner if you ask me, there are endless possibilities for these devices if employed into SU, iv many ideas and to be honest, this feature you have displayed here, I know a better system which would work using the wii remote, 2 LEDs, and a cheap pair of glasses frames, and your head becomes the remote instead of your hand.
Heres a link that will explain how its done and if you follow the link in the description you can do this yourself and see how effective it is yourself [flash=600,370:2qqqunag]http://www.youtube.com/v/Jd3-eiid-Uw[/flash:2qqqunag]
Also iv seen this employed using sketchyphysics, cant seem to find the demo of it anymore but it works, and this is a usful tool also, and there are many other ways this could be used with SU, Think about it and let your imagination run wild, im sure you can come up with ideas using this with SU that i havent [flash=600,370:2qqqunag]http://www.youtube.com/v/5s5EvhHy7eQ[/flash:2qqqunag]

Is anyone even taking this serious, look at the whiteboard you can make, this has huge possibilites in SU, HUGE I TELL YE

Hi folks.
I am interested in all kind of possible remote interactions with SU. Being able to manipulate a model or even to do modeling at a distance from the computer would be awesome for presentations. Just being able to pan, rotate and zoom would be great.
BTW, last sunday was a holiday for the province of Quebec, which means that I was away from computers for 3 days since June 24th holiday gave me monday off for a 3 days weekend. And, best of all, next weekend is a repeat since sunday July 1st is Canada day.

Being able to manipulate a model or even to do modeling at a distance from the computer would be awesome not only for presentations, but for ones health. Imagine modeling in sketchup as in Wii sports! No more seating...exercise.

Now it's me that is feet dragging
Well Damien, I will be taking an untested when the cheap $15 WiFi Remote is delivered. I am looking forward to using this presentation system. Hope I works okay. Pity it's only for Macs
