Method to mount

This section explains how to mount Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ on the trainee.

Please mount Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ on the trainee's head so that its main button side is upper, left side is front and socket side is left.

This photo shows the Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM) from the oblique direction so as to show main button side, left side and socket side. This figure shows that main button side, left side and socket side of Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM) is up, front and left direction of dead, respectively.

If you mount Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ on headphones, it can be fixed on top of the head band with belt or strong double-sided tape. Please make sure that its right-left orientation is correct.

* On the use of Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ in WR-AOTS™ Ver. 2.10, the Cross button is right, and the battery box or Wii logo is left. Please note that it is opposite orientation to the use of it as game controller.

This photo shows the Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM) is fixed on top of the head band of headphones. This figure shows that main button side, left side and socket side of Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM) is up, front and left direction of the head, respectively.

Method to calibrate

The built-in sensors of Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ must be calibrated in advance to run.

* If you use GPS as well, it also must be calibrated. The procedure of GPS calibration is almost the same as Wii® Remote Plus Controller™. Please refer to How to calibrate GPS.

  1. Check Wii checkbox.

    Please start WR-AOTS™ Ver. 2.10 after Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ is connected to your computer, and make sure that Wii checkbox is checked.

    This figure shows checking Wii checkbox.
    To top of Method to calibrate

  2. Make trainee stand still at the ready to start training.

    Please make the trainee stand still at the ready to start the training. The position and orientation of the trainee's head in this time will be the initial position (i.e. the origin of the training field) and the south direction (i.e. upper side of the training field).

    This figure shows that the trainee with Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM) and headphone is standing still at the ready to start the training. This figure shows that the head position and orientation of the Trainee in the training field is the initial position (i.e. the origin of the training field) and the south direction (i.e. upper side of the training field).
    To top of Method to calibrate

  3. Calibrate now.

    If you are ready, please push Calibration button. The question window to ask Calibration OK? will open. Please push OK button to start the calibration. It takes about 2 s to calibrate. Please do not move Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ during the calibration.

    This figure shows pushing Calibration button. This figure shows pushing OK button on the question window.

Method to navigate

In order to navigate the Trainee in the training field, operations are available when the status is Run (the Run button was pushed and the Action indicator shows Run). The Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ navigation includes Parallel movement, Rotation, Break and Home.

This figure shows the pushed Run button This figure shows that the Action indicator shows Run.

  • Parallel movement (change place)

    When the Stable operation mode is available, if the Trainee walks with Wii® Remote Plus Controller™, the Trainee in the training field moves forward to the direction of the head. If the walk stops, the Trainee also stops.

    This figure shows that Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM) moves forward in parallel. This figure shows that the Trainee in the training field moves forward in parallel to the same direction as the head direction on the monitor.

    The Cross button on Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ also can be used to move in parallel. If the Left button (i.e. the front button for head) is pushed, the Trainee in the training field moves forward to the direction of the head at a velocity of 1.5 m/s. If the right button is pushed, it moves backward. If the key is released, it stops.

    This figure shows pushing the Left or Right button of the Cross button on Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM). This figure shows that the Trainee in the training field moves in parallel to the same direction as the head direction on the monitor.

    When the Stable operation mode is unavailable, if Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ moves, the Trainee in the training field moves as same direction and distance as the movement of Wii® Remote Plus Controller™. In this case, the directions of the head and the movement are not needed to be the same (i.e. walking sideway or diagonally is available)

    * The motion of the Trainee in the training field may be different from the actual motion of Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ because of the measurement error included in results of the acceleration sensor in Wii® Remote Plus Controller™. In this case, you are recommended to turn on the Stable operation mode, and substitute the navigations explained above.

    This figure shows that Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM) moves in parallel. This figure shows that the Trainee in the training field moves in parallel to the different direction from the head direction on the monitor.

  • Rotation (change head direction)

    If Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ rotates, the Trainee in the training field rotates as same direction and angle as the rotation of Wii® Remote Plus Controller™. When the Stable operation mode is available, only the left-right rotation (horizontal head shake) is available, and the up-down rotation (vertical head shake or cocking) is ignored.

    This figure shows that Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM) rotates. This figure shows that the Trainee in the training field rotates on the monitor.

    The Cross button on Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ also can be used to rotate. If the Up or Down button (i.e. the right or left button for head) is pushed, the Trainee in the training field rotates to the right or left at a angular velocity of 60 deg/s. If the key is released, it stops.

    This figure shows pushing the Up or Down button of the Cross button on Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM). This figure shows that the Trainee in the training field rotates to the both directions on the monitor.
    To top of Method to navigate

  • Break (stop motion)

    If the A button on Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ is pushed, the Trainee in the training field stands still. It is useful when the motion of the Trainee in the training field is unstable (e.g. moving without operation).

    This figure shows pushing the A button on Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM). This figure shows that the Trainee in the training field is stopping on the monitor.
    To top of Method to navigate

  • Home (return to origin)

    If the Home button on Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ is pushed, the Trainee in the training field returns to the initial position (i.e. the origin of the training field).

    * If you operate Home, Wii® Remote Plus Controller™ is re-calibrated, and the actual position of the trainee at a moment of the operation is regarded as the new initial position (i.e. the origin of the training field).

    This figure shows pushing the Home button on Wii(R) Remote Plus Controller(TM). This figure shows that the Trainee in the training field is homing on the monitor.
