A Wii, a Mac, and a lightsaber walk into a bar
The following idea was birthed from what could only be described as a drunken orgy between a Wii-mote, a Mac, and a Star Wars geek. The program's creator took his existing app that uses the MacBook's built-in tilt sensor to transform your computer into a lightsaber, and took it one step further. Coupling that functionality with the data retrieved by the recently released DarwiinRemote, WiiSaber was born. Pair your Wii-mote with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac and swing it around to make authentic lightsaber sounds so you can finally live out your Star Wars kid Stephen Colbert fantasies.ps- Yeah, we tried it. It works great ... just be sure you're alone.[Via plasticbag.org]
WiiSaber: Star Wars Kid, do your thing
We've seen the MacSaber, we've seen the DarwiinRemote, now behold the ultimate in nerddom: the WiiSaber. Just like you'd expect, the WiiSaber combines your erratic Wiimote-sensed arm motions with those purtiful lightsaber sound effects built into the MacSaber app for beautiful WiiSaber harmony. But don't take our word for it, just check out the nerds after the break doing what they do best.[Via TUAW]

Remember MacSaber, the little program that turned your Mac portable with motion sensing into a lightsaber (well, at least made it sound like one whilst you were wildly swinging it around)? I know some people, like me, were a little wary of swinging around their portables for fun and that is where WiiSaber comes in.Get your Wiimote (which comes with Nintendo's Wii), add a Mac, and now you can swing your Wiimote around like mad and pretend you're a Jedi.Thanks, Ian.
