| Crono said: Wiimote pointer feels more accurate on medium sized TVs. With smaller TVs, you're pointing off screen to get the pointer to move where you need it to, and with very large tvs (projectors and such) your pointing halfway to the edge of the screen, but the pointer is all the way at the edge. The way the wiimote works with the sensor bar is it tracks the led lights in the sensor bar. They didn't use 4 sensors at the corners of the screen because on larger TVs the remote could lose 1 or 2 of the LED points. This could be fixed by using a fish eye lense on the end of the wiimote so that it tracks a much wider angle of view. It would require quite a programming trick. |
actually, there is a fairly simple hardware fix for the left to right problem (can't fix vertical difference) What you have to do is create your own sensor bar with stronger IRLED and make the width adjustable. For a larger TV, the width between the IRLED would have to be greater. The only thing, is you would also have to stand slightly farther away from the screen to make sure the remote picked it up properly. (basically faking that you havea smaller TV) So basically if you use the standard sensor bar at 6ft on a 32" widescreen tv, then you would use a slightly wider sensor bar at 10ft on a 50" widescreen tv and get the same affect.
