Johnny Chung Lee, the do-it-yourself-er’s do-it-yourself-er, started it with his Projects > Wii page in which he shows some pretty amazing things you can do with the Wii game controllers. Chung Lee got rid of the Wii entirely and inspired game developers, enthusiasts, and even middle school students to try their hand and making some fun and innovative software.

Now some guys from Israel (go Israel!) are getting rid of the Wii entirely with their CamSpace pure software solution that can really be explained best with a video.

I think this is gonna change some things.

Using just a PC and a webcam, CamTrax Technologies, have figured out how to make a wii-like controller out of just about anything, so long as it’s at least 5mm in size.

Imagine standing in front of your wide screen tv and drawing on the screen using your XBox, PS3, Blu-Ray player, or whatever. Virtual exercise with a partner is entirely possible. TechCrunch has some other ideas.

I might have to get a Wii… just to, you know, be ready.
