I'm pretty sure some of you have already seen this video but I just saw the link in Nintendo Power and HAD to repost it.

Johnny Lee demonstrates how to turn your Wii Remote into a virtual reality interface with your computer. Haha I know I probably didn't describe it right but it is sick. I have heard Steven Spielberg's Bloxbuster is going to use it, are any other games comin out?

Johnny Lee has demonstrated some impressive uses for the Wiimote, such as the cheap whiteboard based on light-emitting pens. The head-tracking feature is neat, but it's something NaturalPoint has done for years with the TrackIR series of devices. However, it should be noted that a TrackIR 4 Pro will generally cost upwards of 100 US$, while you can just go to the store and pluck a Wiimote for only 40 US$. All they really have to do is make some software that allows the Wiimote to work with TrackIR Enhanced games and you now have a nice head-tracking system for simulations and Armed Assault for not much money spent!
