Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Water Management Date 2010-12-01 Abstract The $40 “Wiimote” (an input device belonging with the Nintendo® Wii game system) can be used by hydrologists as a sensor. The device contains three accelerometers and an infrared camera with built?in source tracking. It communicates by Bluetooth®. Because of the efforts of the hacking community it is now easy to let the Wiimote communicate with a standard personal computer. Using a floating evaporation pan as an example, we show that the Wiimote, although it may have potential drawbacks when used in field campaigns, is a good addition to the hydrologist's bag of tools, especially for proof of concept testing.
