Miilkdrop is a visualization program that lets you use two Wii remotes to
create fast, colorful, mind-bending images with a flick of your wrist.
Using Wii remotes to draw images with Miilkdrop is like playing a visual
instrument: the images react to the force and direction of your movements.
Especially so if you hook up a projector to your computer: the feeling of
drawing huge psychedelic shapes on a wall instantly by moving your hands is like
being a wizard.
Here's a demo:
Miilkdrop is used best with some music playing in the background. You can
play the music through your computer, or an iPod, or a DJ can be playing it. Then
you move to make the shapes in rhythm with the music, or a specific instrument,
or the words of the song.
(For those familiar with the original Milkdrop, I have modified it to turn off all sound
analysis and changed it so that presets think they are reacting to music but really
they are reacting to how you moved the Wiimotes.)

This is the very first release -- v0.1.0 -- and the real work just begins, but even as it is it's a lot of fun. (Especially with the projector...)
And of course it's powered by Wiiuse!
