Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Demystified

After a little detective work done by my bros, I explain exactly what the Wii's "sensor" bar is and why you don't necessarily need one.

Heh. I left my sensor bar at home when I brought my Wii to a different house. I accidentally pointed at the light over my head, and it started working. XD

The wiimote itself will work fine, but you won't be able to use the pointer until you've replaced the sensor bar.

Hell, you can use two candles to replace the "sensor bar".
Google "Wii sensor bar candles" to find out that the sensor bar is only an IR light source. The remote is a bluetooth device and the console has a bluetooth receiver in it.
The heat from the candles is in the IR spectrum. By having them the same distance apart as the bar is wide, the remote can pick it up as it would the bar.
