Wii-mote
Nintendo Wii is an innovative video game console for the 21st century. Central to Wii is a remote control called Wii Remote (or Wii-mote). Wii-mote not only changed the way we play video games, but also encouraged the creation of interesting projects that mash-up Wii Remotes with non-video-gaming devices.
This page is dedicated to those projects that explore innovate usage of Wii-mote beyond video gaming. If you know an interesting Wii-mote project, please send me an email.
