WiiSaber, the Wii Remote enabled lightsaber simulator
Download this app. Launch it. Press the red “sync” button on your Wii Remote. Then:
(a) hold remote in hand, like a dork pretending to hold a lightsaber.
(b) swing it around, like a dork pretending to be a Jedi.
Get yer geek on, fanboys!
I took the saber rendering code a a forum posting on gamedev.net, but obviously the controls have been changed over to use the Wii remote. It’s only doing two axes (pitch and yaw) so you don’t need one of those fancy homemade IR sensor bars.
Fun fact: the application zip is 29k. The jpeg above is 35k.
