In fact, there is not "motion sensor" in the Wiimote, so to speak. I'm not sure I can be clear in english, but the datas coming out of the wiimote are the forces apply by gravity. Visually, the datas are 3 lines (X, Y, Z) and if you just put the Wimote on the table, not touching it, one of the axis will "respond" continually. And with the same intensity that if you were moving the Wiimote downward. More simply : it means that the Wiimote, for the same move, can not really make the difference between a slow one and a fast one. It also means we're king of screwed for the lightsaber :( |
The axis responses aren't just "yes" or "no", they have a range. Meaning that you can, in fact, tell the difference between a slow acceleration and a fast one.
