This is an awesome effect and I really do hope some game companies find out about this and incorporate it into a game. This same guy also has done some other really good mods that take advantage of the IR wiimote.

Here is the guy's site which has the YouTubes for the other innovative things he has came up with for the wiimote.

Yeah, I could not remember where I found the link at but I suspected it was here in the middle of some thread. I figured I'd post it as a new thread since I already had the post made on thehelper.net because this is some really cool stuff.

Whatever they can accomplish with the Wii can easily be accomplished for the PC as well - even using the actual wii and wiimote as a controller for the PC.

O No doubt.

Also, added to that the fact that this was designed by one guy, put some brains who's salary depends on their ideas behind technology like this, and there is no telling what can occur.
