Features
  • Wii Remote a wireless controller via Bluetooth,
    which may be used as a handheld pointing device
    and can detect motion and rotation in three
    dimensions.
  • Accelerometers in the Wii Remote allow it to
    sense linear motion along three axes, as well as
    tilt. The controller features an optical sensor,
    allowing it to determine where it is pointing

More about Wii Remote
  • Similar to a light gun, the Wii Remote has a
    light sensor that allows it to detect where it is
    pointing in relation to a television screen. Wii
    Remote senses light from a sensor bar with LEDs
    being arranged at each end of the bar. The bar
    may be placed above or below the television, and
    must be centered. It is not necessary to point
    directly at the sensor bar, but pointing away
    from the screen itself will disrupt
    position-sensing ability.

More about Wii Remote
  • Wii Remote's one-megapixel image sensor is used
    to locate the sensor bar's points of light in the
    Wii Remote's field of view. The known real-world
    dimensions of the spacing between the LEDs on the
    bar allows the Wii Remote to calculate its
    position and orientation in space relative to the
    bar. This information is in addition to, and
    supplemented by, the 3-axis acceleration and tilt
    sensors in the Wii Remote.
