Wiimote as a mouse


 
   

Yep, we finally figured out how the darn IR camera works. It's just a quick hack, but I've written a program to take the data from the Wiimote, filter it a bit, and emulate a mouse. It's actually quite a decent input device, although I recommend using big icons. I've demonstrated a few simple activities with it. Buttons on the Wiimote map to mouse buttons and scroll wheel. Of course, the sensor bar has to be on for this to work (make your own, as documented in many places, or just power yours off your Wii as I use here)I'm working on a full-blown Linux driver with support for every feature known, multiple clients, and a lot more (with no ugly hacks).See you soon with the next video!Update: Check http://wiibrew.org/index.php?t... out for the actual technical information on how all this works!

You should use the ir bar, but its only a source of IR for the wiimote to track, so you can just use some IR LEDs wired up on top of your monitor.

So do you have to use an IR bar or not?If yes, does the bar also have to be connected to the computer?Also, where can I find the most reliable free software for these applications?(nice video, thank you)
