Cohort Studios: Move is “so much more accurate” than Wiimote

The Wiimote's ability to detect depth is based on distance between detected light sources, and it is far less accurate than analyzing a camera image with a clear marker of known size (like a glowing sphere) would be.

Otherwise, I agree, the Wiimote+WMP should be nearly the same as the Move. Spatially, however, the Move's accuracy margins would be measured in millimeters, whereas the Wiimote's accuracy margins would be in terms of centimeters.

 

Hmm? They use EXACTLY the same method

 

Move - uses a camera (PSeye) to measure the apparent size of an object with known absolute size (the ball)

Wiimote - Uses a camera (the end of the Wiimote) to measure the apparent size of an object with known absolute size (the sensor bar)

 

It's confusing because Nintendo refer to an emittor as a sensor, but now you know - and knowing is half the battle.

 

And no, Wiimote without WM+ is more accurate than to the cm. Ever actually used one?
