The Wiiās sensor bar is a flimsy little thing. Itās pretty weak, too. What it needs, then, is MORE POWER, and thatās exactly what these two handymen are proposing.
Theyāve built the MegaBar, a large, powered infared source that lets you use a Wii Remote with accuracy well beyond the consoleās standard range. So, say, from the opposite end of a really big room.
Itās the simplicity thatās so great here. Itās nothing convoluted, just two big sets of red lights that run on a power adapter, so you donāt need batteries like other similar solutions. You can see it in operation in this video
The MegaBar is being run by iphone software developer James Turner and his son Daniel, who if youāre interested are running a Kickstarter project in the hopes of turning the thing into a small-scale commercial venture.
