By Erica Naone -snip-The Wii Remote tracks its position via an infrared sensor that users must attach to their televisions. However, the Motus Darwin measures absolute position with respect to earth itself. Using gyroscopes and accelerometers, the controller orients itself to the magnetic north, and senses the direction it is pointing. -snip- |
The Wii remote also has a gyroscope and accelerometers. that is how it hows when you move it and which direction it is orientated. It only uses the infrared sensor for when you are pointing at the screen to position the cursor. It would be nice if they could get their information right before they explain how their product is so much better.
