Updated Gesture Module


Just a quick update.
Got the geture module recieving from the wii in the new format. This is going to be so much easier to work with. Coded the print functions in this time to save some trouble. Also picks up the buttons (not shown).

Also, I found the notes about the classificaiton of gestures I asked you about. It was Neural mappings vs Cognitive functions. IE patterns vs purpose. In this respect that orientation value is going to be gold. I had a lot of trouble on the inital version differentiating the cognitive gesture such as pointing to your ear. noe it no trouble at all because the orientation is really strange. The actually direcatio the top of the Wiimote points is Forwards and down, which is impossible to reach by accident with neural mappings unless your steady eddie of course.

Also been playing around with the Media Portal media center and getting some strong design directions from it. I'm going to have a play around and see if I can find an API or the Window Commands to throw to it to get it to do what I want. The program also has the ability to add external player to use (Such as Winamp). I'm think that developing the program for it will reach my inital goal of developing a program that I will use around the house.
