Johnny Chung Lee (born 1979) is an American computer engineer known for his inventions related to the Wii Remote.
[2] Sometime in 2008, Lee posted video demos and sample code at his website taking advantage of the high resolution (1024×768 Pixels) high frame-rate (100 Hz) IR camera built-in into the controller of the Wii video game console, the Wii Remote, for finger tracking, low-cost multipoint interactive whiteboards, and head tracking for desktop VR displays.
The WiimoteProject forum has become the discussion, support, and sharing site for Lee's Wii Remote projects and other newer developments.
Various magazines, newspapers and television programs have featured interviews with Lee, and he has also made appearances at events such as Maker Faire.
Electronic Arts had initially stated that Lee's Wii Remote head tracking technology would appear as an Easter egg in the game Boom Blox,[6] but later announced that the feature had been removed.
