Wii Remote Interaction for Industrial Use

Abstract: By focusing on the potential of the Wii Remote, we have implemented a broad spectrum of concept ideas into the same package, in an effort to give a good overview of the Wii Remote’s properties such as mobility, direct manipulation and generally high affordance. The purpose of this work was to find a concept on how a Wii Remote can be used as a tool for the industry, outside the domains of gaming and entertainment. The environment for our investigation was ABB’s Robot Studio which is a simulation tool for industrial robots. Creating a concept with today’s products enabled us to discuss a present solution and also a possible future in form of a redesign rationale that we exemplified with a set of scenarios.
