- Eyesweb: Multi-modal Interfacing, Real-time, Software Application.
See e.g. ICDVRAT2008: Brooks, Interpretations: inter-sensory stimulation concept targeting inclusive access offering appreciation of classical music for all ages, standing & disability.
See e.g. ICDVRAT2008: Williams, Unintentional intrusive participation in multimedia interactive environments
The EyesWeb open platform (free download) has been originally conceived for supporting research on multimodal expressive interfaces and multimedia interactive systems. EyesWeb has also been widely employed for designing and developing real-time dance, music, and multimedia applications. It supports the user in experimenting computational models of non-verbal expressive communication and in mapping gestures from different modalities (e.g., human full-body movement, music) onto multimedia output (e.g., sound, music, visual media). It allows fast development and experiment cycles of interactive performance set-ups by including a visual programming language allowing mapping, at different levels, of movement and audio into integrated music, visual, and mobile scenery.

- Lumisonic: Sound Visualisation, Real-time, Software Application.
See ICDVRAT2008: Grierson, Making music with images: interactive audiovisual performance systems for the deaf.
LumiSonic is a sound application that visualises sound in real-time in a way that allows hearing-impaired individuals to interact with a specifically designed, graphical representation of sound. The software can be used ‘out of the box’ with a mouse (or another special needs input device) or with a Nintendo Wiiremote, which provides additional vibration-based feedback. Users can load and play back sounds from the remote, whilst using the accelerometer to make real-time adjustments to the pitch, pan-position and volume. Beyond this, the musical output of the software can be set to a number of transposable scale systems. This allows for a wide range of musical interaction (i.e. You can use it as an musical instrument!).

- Wiiuse Library: Motion sensing, IR tracking, Low cost input device.
See e.g. ICDVRAT2008, Murgia et al, Low-cost optical tracking for immersive collaboration in the CAVE using the Wii Remote
Wiiuse is a library written in C that connects with several Nintendo Wii wiimotes. Supports motion sensing, IR tracking, nunchuk, classic controller, and the Guitar Hero 3 controller. Single threaded and nonblocking makes a light weight and clean API.
