wiimotes under linux are already used as pointing devices even with no IR bars, but usability is imho lacking. One problem is probably the fact that the sensors in the wiimote are meant to detect wide, fast movements, not the small, slow ones one would use for precision pointing. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' homepage: http://www.trueelena.org _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
