Virtual Reality Using Your Computer as a Controller

I've been playing around with ThreeJS more and more now and I'm still not getting the hang of it. But I still enjoy using it even though I'm struggling through the darkness. I wanted to do something with its VR capabilities, but I also didn't want to pay an arm and a leg to get a decent VR headset. So I did the next best thing. I broke out my cardboard and played around with it. The results weren't Vive quality for sure, but for $15, it's exceptional what you can do with it. Unfortunately, it's hard to control something like this without a controller like the Vive. So I did something like Oculus did - made the computer the controller - but I did it without wires.

DJ Hard Drive Turn Table Part 1

There are tons of tutorials on how to do this on the internet. The hard drive is an amazing part to do this with because the motor and bearings are so smooth and provide very low resistance of rotation while still being light. It could also turn itself (having a motor and all) and, best of all, it was free because my roommate dropped it and it stopped working. Which is a shame because it was 2.5TB. Regardless, I knew what I wanted to do with it almost immediately.
