youtube.com — Video demonstration of using a Wii controller (wiimote) connected to a windows computer via bluetooth, using a program called glovepie to turn wiimote motions and button presses into key commands to ultimately play half-life 2.

you dont need the bar.. its not a sensor.. all that is is IR lights.. you could use candles if you wanted.

This dips**t doesn't realize that the time the light stays on is scripted and easily changable.

Fir starters i will bow to the advances these fellas are going through in trying to make this work. However it seems pretty aggravating to me just watching this. The 5 to 7 sec delay in the motion sensing. The dam Wiimote was pointed directly at the lap top screen like 1 inch away. The Jump didn't seem to do much and honestly i looked like he was on crouch mode the whole time.Seems they point has already been made it can be hacked and coded for PC and different games. Point is it's not practical or sufficient enough for me . Maybe if the other chuck worked but for now i will give it a 4 out of 10 for making it happen.

Okay, I didn't read all the comments and this was prolly already said, but are we sure this is real? Couldn't someone be behind him controlling with a mouse/gamepad? It could just be a well synchronized hoax.Although, if this is real, it's the most kick-ass thing since Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick

Whow - that's great- looks like we don't depend on Lucas-Arts making a lightsaber-game for the wii, we can just adapt the wii-remote for an existing lightsaber-game.uhh - lightsabers

Q: from a grandpa on win XP:I noticed this was being done by a Linux Group, can't Windows guys do this stuff?

Check this out.<a class="user" href="http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com/show_article.php?id=265">http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com/show_article.php?id=265</a>Well here's something we've seen before, yet better. This is a video of a Half Life 2 mod that incorporates Wii remote controls into the game, which we've seen before. This one is different however because this computer programmer type guy put the Wii remote driver right into the game instead of using glovePIE or some such stuff. It also incorporates the Wii Nunchuck to full use as well.
