Wii-diculous - Playing the Wii in a Movie Theater

Playing Wii Sports at a movie theater on a 344" screen using a homemade wireless sensor bar.

One of my friends is a manager at a local movie theater, which uses a digital projector to show advertisements between features. After seeing the It Burns When I Wii video, we figured we could one-up it with the equivalent of a 344" television screen. We wanted to use my friend's Nintendo Wii in the theater, but we didn't want to have to deal with yards of cabling. Inspired by doctabu's design, I built my own wireless sensor bar for less than $20.

Wait...you connected the Wii with the COMPOSITE CABLE that came with it!? To a huge projector?! You would have gotten a much better picture with COMPONENT cable!

@webeffect The projector did not take component; this was 5 years ago, so it was less common to have component.

How did you get the wiimotes to connect to the wii from that far?

[hohlermann]

@TheGBNation The Wii itself was in the projection booth, so leveraging line of sight.
