Awesome video, thats something I’ve been wanting to try since I got my Wii and heard you could link up the wiimotes with the pc. I can’t wait to see more!

That ROCKS! Looks like it might be a bit away from being a real practical option, especially on pvp, but getting it working like that is well impressive.

Very impressive there Cyan. I look forward to seeing more development of this.

[…] Playing EQ2 with Wii Controllers Something I have been messing with: EQ2-Daily Blog » Wiieally Interesting Way to Play EQ2 I am sure WoW/GW won’t be far behind in someone doing this. I haven’t played many MMO’s besides EQ2 in the past 6 months, it is fun to play like this on EQ2, but there is still a 1 to 1 action to Combat Action scheme that I assume is the mainstay in almost all MMOs on the market (ie there is nothing that would constitute a slash with the mouse ala Elderscrolls to mimic with wii movements). Really you can only assign a movement (flick of wrist) to a certain action (jump, fire spell in slot 1, etc). I wonder if we will ever see an MMO that utilizes pure mouse/wii movement for combat/other actions. It may already be out there I just don’t know about it. If you know of any, let me know, would love to try this out with an mmo like that. As I said in the video as of now it is to hard to really use the 2 controllers for pvp because the kb & mouse combo is so much quicker (and stable for at least the time being with this method until it is more refined). __________________ EQ2-Daily.com EQ2 Podcast Host http://www.eq2-daily.com http://www.eq2-daily.com/podcast.aspx […]

EQ2 Via Wiimote
CyanBane, the host of the Eq2-Daily and a coworker of mine at my day job, has managed to work out playing Everquest 2 with a pair of Nintendo Wiimotes. CyanBane obviously has far too much time on his hands, but…

The WII remote uses the Infra red bar as you stated simply for tracking purposes. Check Wiki for details… You can setup two Infra LEDS on your monitor for the same effect.
The only reason that the Bar for the Wii plugs into the Wii is simply to draw power for the LEDS.
Theres a video on google, or youtube or a couple of kids using LEDS from a couple of VCR reports to drive the Wiimote…
Just something to think about
