Joystiq video: candles replace Wii sensor bar

Instead of waiting for a retail wireless sensor bar, or hacking your own, use two candles spaced several inches apart to control your Wii!

yay it waorks but fuck my tv has wx all around it shit

this works because the sensor bar gives off a heat signal which when met with the wii-mote makes a tri-angle. the machine figures out where the remote is by measuring where the tip (wii-mot) of the triangle is

@ROY0666 well i dont have a wii because theyre for fags

[ROY0666]

@BustDays sensor bar comes with tha fucking WII you asshole. this is one of those "if you break it" things to let you know you have a quick fix for it.

@BustDays Ah, well, I am fighting with 3-4 other people for stupid reasons on here, so I threw that in because I was angry. :P

I usually am level-headed and handle things nicely, but the people that I am fighting with are just awful.

[BustDays]

@LouisAndPillz lol i love how you threw in asshole at the end.

p.s. im just fucking around here im sure this actually works.

[LouisAndPillz]

@BustDays That is the point. The only thing that comes out of buying the "sensor" is that it is safer than using a candle. Why don't you read up first about IR technology first? Plus, it isn't all that high-tech. You can buy one of these separate from Wall Mart for $15, or make your own for around 6-10 dollars. It isn't that expensive. Asshole.

[BustDays]

@LouisAndPillz you're a retard. your telling me a candle produces the same hightech 'IR beam' that the motion sensor produces? why the fuck would anyone buy the sensor in the first place if you could just do this

[LouisAndPillz]

@BustDays Why don't you try it first, or at least read the comments.

It works. I have tried it, too. It works because the sensor uses an IR beam, which is reproduced by the fire on the candle.
