Yeah because that's what they do to TV remotes too, right?

 

Well yes, but I was thinking more about the very basic human intuition of hand eye coordination. The more layers of abstraction you add the more "learning" is involved. The mouse is somewhat intuitive because it has a large space of movement, provides extreme accuracy. The mouse also has the advantage of a huge base of pre-trained people.

The Wiimote relies on  the ability to point at an object in the most rudimentary way. Every time you reach for a glass of beer, or to flush the toilet you are unknowingly training this sense. In fact nearly every physical interaction in our lives is a manifestation of hand-eye coordination. Yes even that...
