Wii don’t need no stinkin’ sensor bar

[duff] found this and sent it in. The video demonstrates that the Wii ’sensor bar’ is just an array of IR leds. The actual sensor is in the remote control – which probably sends data to the Wii via RF. These guys faked the ir signal using a pair of standard remotes. This’ll probably open the door to some controller cheats as things progress. [Better than using a belt sander on a trackball.]
