- a3r0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15They haven't figured out how to use the sensor bar yet, so this movement looks like its based only off of the accelerometers, making it pretty inaccurate. When they finally get that part done, we'll hopefully have as much control as with a mouse

- contextclouds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Have you actually tried the drivers, or are you just saying that?
http://onakasuita.org/wii/WiinRemote_v2006.12.2.zip - turpenine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7nobody called it fake.
- turpenine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6because its being filmed by one guy.
- dracula7, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6gyroscopic mice are sold without ir sensors to position them and they work fine. if this mouse were a little more sensitive it could work really well-especially for media center pcs...
cant wait for the os x driver - Klisk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How can something you're able to download and use yourself be fake?

Dude, seriously? Maybe computers are fake too!

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4don't see a point... i have a mouse...
- Klisk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I hope they figure it all out. I'd love to try using the remote with FPSers.

Controlling a MythTV box (or similar) with the Wiimote would be fantastic. - turpenine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2why is this not on the frontpage now?
- turpenine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3candles don't work fine, they just work, they are a lot less accurate. I tried.
- freeagent99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not using a Wii controller, but the concept of a gyroscopic mouse has been around a while. You can get one here http://www.gyration.com/en-US/ProductDetail.html?modelnum=GC1005M&accshow=3
- plnegative1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How do you know that? You don't.

why would you? could you see the monitor? - SkeletaLlama, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2But can you use your mouse from 400 feet away? I didn't think so.
Wii remote makes you productive, from the other side of the office. - garugaga, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2@a3r0 The wii-mote is inaccurate because the driver isn't tweaked or even fully completed yet. It has been discovered that the sensor bar sends absolutely no data along the cable, it just uses that cable for power. The sensor bar is just a couple or IR lights. People have been using candles instead of the sensor bar and it works fine.

Ironically, you said thanks for bursting your bubble, when you are really disappointed about the possibility that the story is not truthful, just like you when you said thanks when you really meant "no thanks".

Doesnt anyone remember the gyroscopic wireless mice from the mid to late 90's... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5wrong post bury me
- mrkmrk, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2The sensor bar only emits IR signals. They just need to get a way to power it, and they're good.
- OpCzar, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2WAWAWIWA
- kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4oh rly? I coulda sworn you did that on purpose cus..you know... it's the Wii...wia...makes sense...
just saying. - plnegative1, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3If this was real, why doesnt it zoom out so we can see that his hand is not on the mouse? O yeh, cause it is
- Fifthace, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2It's definitely a fake. You don't see anything that proves someone isn't hiding underneath the screen using a mouse (and laughing his chops off), plus the Bluetooth Wii uses for its remotes have extra propriety code, meaning you can't just hook it up to any other Bluetooth equipment.
Not sure how this trash gets onto digg!! - goldentofu, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3It's fake.
- joaob, on 10/12/2007, -16/+4fake.
- DarkMeld, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2I was so ecstatic when if saw the video and the possibilities. Then theres a guy that called it fake. thanks for burstin my f-ing bubble
