So like, what, you plugged the candles into your comp? XD?

@MichaelChin1994 nah, not rly =D, the candles just need to be there. same as with the sensor bar (the wireless version just need batteries to power it up, no setup nor special connection is needed).

[MichaelChin1994]

@RaphaChannel So then what is the point of the candles???

[RaphaChannel]

@MichaelChin1994 The same as the Wii's sensor bar. It acts as a infrared emiter. The wiiremote then uses the infrared sources to triangulate and estimate its position relative to your TV/monitor (that's why you need to inform if your "sensor bar" is either on top or below your screen).

Without such IR sources the wiimote can't guess where it is, thus the "point at the screen" feature is rendered useless.

@MichaelChin1994 The fire in them emmits InfraRed so the controller can calculate where it's pointing into., It could be 2 lighters, infrared ledsor similar stuff, I just used candles for this example because they can be commonly found. Hope that made it clear =].

[MichaelChin1994]

@RaphaChannel Wait, so there's no sensor bar at all?

[RaphaChannel]

@MichaelChin1994 Well, not in this example, what is there for a fact are the two candles ACTING as the sensor bar. The Nintendo's sensor bar does nothing more than emit infrared signs, that's why the candles' fire work well.

It does kinda look like you're having a romantic night of playing mario kart though
