Genuine Official Wii Sensor Bar (for Wii & Wii U)

Product Information

Use of the Sensor Bar allows the Wii Remote to be used as an accurate pointing device up to 5meters (approx. 16ft) away from the bar. [14] The Wii Remote's image sensor [45] is used to locate the Sensor Bar's points of light in the Wii Remote's field of view. The light emitted from each end of the Sensor Bar is focused onto the image sensor which sees the light as two bright dots separated by a distance "mi" on the image sensor. The second distance "m" between the two clusters of light emitters in the Sensor Bar is a fixed distance. From these two distances m and mi, the Wii CPU calculates the distance between the Wii Remote and the Sensor Bar using triangulation. [47] Rotation of the Wii Remote with respect to the ground can also be calculated from the relative angle of the two dots of light on the image sensor. [48] Games can be programmed to sense whether the image sensor is covered, which is demonstrated in a microgame featured in launch title WarioWare: Smooth Moves, where if the player does not uncover the sensor the champagne bottle that the remote represents will not open.

The compatibility of a wireless Wii sensor bar is yet another important factor, if not the most. This factor is important to verify because the compatibility of a wireless Wii sensor bar will tell you which devices you can use with the sensor, making your choice much clearer. As Wii sensor bars are designed to be used specifically with Wii consoles, you don’t have to worry about their compatibility with your Wii console model.

Verify that there are no bright light sources, including sunlight, behind or near the TV, shining towards the Wii Remote or reflecting off the TV screen. Avoid sources of infrared light in the gameplay area such as electric, propane or kerosene heaters, flames from fireplaces or candles, and stoves or other sources of heat. If there are bright lights shinning directly behind the TV or on the screen, turn the lights off. There are a lot of companies that develop a wide range of options for console accessories.
