How could I get measurable data for my science project?

Question

The overall premise of my project is getting a wii remote to track finger movements...that's not my problem though, I can do that. What I need help with is getting some sort of measurable data out of it so it will be an actual "science fair" project. Any suggestions?

Answer 2

It sounds as though you will be trying to measure positional accuracy, response time and resolution.

Could you set up a sort of wire-frame model to define points in real space that you could accurately measure, point at and compare the reported position?

What is the smallest amplitude of wavy line that you could trace out that is recognized as being other than straight?

How quickly / accurately can it follow a moving target?

Could you attach a laser pointer pen to the remote, aim it at a target with the laser covered, based on its reported position and then measure the error when you uncover the laser?
