The sensor bar doesn't detect anything; it's just 4 IR LEDs. The Wiimote has the IR sensor.]]>Feb 20th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Feb 20th 2008 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/No, BUYING a wii sensor bar is dumb. SELLING one is genius.

(for the record I don't think buying one is dumb either....who wants candles burning near their TV everytime they want to get their Wii on?)]]>Feb 20th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Feb 20th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Feb 20th 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Feb 20th 2008 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/
The Wii Remote has a camera in the end that picks up the infra-red and therefore works out where the remote is pointing in relation to your sensor bar.

This is designed to be placed under or above your TV so the remote can work out where on the TV it is pointing

you can, however, have the sensor bar nowhere near your TV, or use a home-made LED system, or some candels]]>Feb 20th 2008 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Feb 20th 2008 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/
I agree with Randomness, it isn't a 'sensor bar' if it doesn't actually contain any sensors. This sentence is what threw me off of what this thing actually is: "Not only can it detect the motion of your Wii Remote via the magic of infrared..." ]]>Feb 20th 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Feb 20th 2008 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Feb 20th 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/
I swear I have no idea why I'm so curious about this seeing as how I don't even have a Wii and if I did, wouldn't care.]]>Feb 20th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/
However, if they wanted to be convincing they'd use the actual Wii sensor bar power output...]]>Feb 20th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/
1) The bar cannot track your wiimote, as mentioned in the rest of the comments
2) Even if you subscribe to the assumption that time is the fourth dimension (which it's not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_dimension ), a clock is not tracking anything in that dimension

For some reference, I point you to: http://www.xkcd.com/386/]]>Feb 20th 2008 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Feb 20th 2008 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/
"The fourth dimension is often identified with time in physics, and as such is used to explain the non-Euclidean space-time used in Einstein's theories of special relativity and general relativity."

Time is the "Einsteinian" fourth dimension.]]>Feb 20th 2008 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Feb 20th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/its-12-00-do-you-know-where-your-wiimotes-are/Extreme idiots .
