I cannot wait to get my hands on this. This will be great for playing games such as Tiger Woods and Wii sports. Nintendo has done it again.

expanding on what pelrun said, would it be feasible to pop the ir filter off the wiimote’s camera for an augmented reality setup? and what would the minimum level of computing power be to run it? could the pandora handle it?

Take a wiimote, nunchuck and motionplus, stick them in a wii rifle stock, and you've got a full 6dof imu solution. Then bung an lcd screen on it and you've got your vr game gun! Even better because you can use the accelerometer input (properly scaled) to translate your walking/running into the game! Even better, replace the screen with a pandora when it's released, and you've got a ***self-contained*** vr game gun! Hell, use the wifi in the pandora to link up several of these vr game guns and go nuts in a large open space somewhere!

Good stuff. I shocked myself looking up how easy it was to read data from a nunchuck a week ago, I’ll have to get a couple of these, too.

This would be awesome with GPS and a digital compass to provide long-term absolute data.

So is this the kind of thing you can use for, say, a headtracking solution in an FPV rig? And it comes in a small package? Awesome!
