That's just not true - they use a similar underlying technology, but the motion controls for those VR headsets are in no way based on the Wii Remote design.

If two things have wifi inbuilt, is one based on the other?

No, I don't mean the proper technology or the WiiMote design, I'm talking about "motion controls" per se. I'm not saying that it's a rip-off or something like that, but motion controls were despised by some gamers because of them being a gimmick, and even if it's not the same tech, the use is pretty similar. And I really know some people who know think they're cool, the same people who said motion controls are shit when the Wii released, and I find that kind of hypocritical.

Motion control is just motion control - some gamers disliked the Wii remote because of it's high latency and lack of accuracy. The difference is the VR controls are accurate to the millimeter and also seem a far more intuiative control system when used in conjunction with VR, whereas outside of VR they tend to lack relevance.
