Off the related video's, I came across a link to a 3d tracker using two Wiimotes:

Now that would be cool for gaming. Combine two IR camera's (on top of the TV) and the current Wii setup (with an IR led or two in the Wiimote) and you could accurately locate the Wiimote in space and the direction of the Wiimote itself. This should make for much more accurate light gun games.

There was another vid on youtube of a guy that used the wiimotes to develop a true 3-d target shooter that tracked his head and modified the field of vision on screen. You know how you always wanted to "get a better view" on some shots of the wimmins in movies? Well this technology would make it possible. >:D

Now the only question is:
Now that nerds all over the place are discovering how easy it is to use the Wiimotes to develop this stuff, did the Nintendo engineers also realize this and plan ahead for the Wii?

Star Wars lightsaber battles pops into mind here.

Indeed. Since the Wiimote can track 4 LEDs they could put two on your head and two on the gun and then track both. Pretty cool.

Bones:
No, This is the best Missile Command ever.

I kept waiting for it to intercept another, much larger missile.  It did not happen.   :'(

Another (even more related) video:


This should theoretically make that missile command game a reality on a projected screen.  Nintendo needs to hire the hell out of this dude.
