conzer16 Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Do you think we have fucking miracle alien technology from space or something? The sensor bar is how it is because it has to be that way clearly. I'm sure if there was a reasonable alternative to doing it this way they likely would've but with current technology it's probably all they can do. Well i do study Electrical and electronic engineering and i happen to know that this "alien" technology is not other worldly at al. It does exist, ,and although im not 100% sure how it could be used i'm sure that it could be used theoretically. either way doesnt matter its wired::shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Why couldn't they "remove" the need for a sensor bar? Why can't the controller just send the information wirelessly to the Wii, with no need for a bar? >=( No. Because the Wii wouldn't be able to go whereever you wanted it to then, as it wouldn't be able to pick up all movements correctly.

david.dakota Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Theres no real reason to have it wireless. It'll just sit under/on top of the TV and thats it. Its interesting that the Sensor could not have been put in the Wii itself - but then you'd have the added hassle of the sensor thinking the Wii-motes are in different places depending on the vertical or horizontal placement of the console/.

yogi_bear Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 so how big will the final package of the Wii be? Judging from the size of the sensor bar, it's going to be very dodgey imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Just hide the wires behind your TV or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 yeah just hide the wires. my cube and 360 are stood next to my tv,. all the wires are just nehind it. its on a 4 drawer chest, with all my clothes in. the only wire you can see is the blue ethernet going up my wall to the router in another room. wires arent a problem, just hide em and youd never know they were there. just like anim....o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The bar is there to produce an infrared field. It doesn't send/receive any information from the controller. You can find the source of this info from the post I sent to the wii hardware thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the sensor bar in perspective with any other object and you will see that it is tiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with the rest of the world though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philoss Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) If you put it on top of the TV, you won't even see the wire. ________ Medical marijuana in 818 Edited August 22, 2011 by Philoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
