I saw that on AOTS using the candles instead of the sensor bar.

All it does is send out IR beams so that the wiimote can sense the motion. Having 2 candles like that will work just as well because the candles will act as a substitute for the IR beams from the sensor bar. The wiimote only communicates with the wii wirelessly, not with the sensor bar. The wiimote will work like that just so long as you have 2 sources of IR that it can sense as guidelines

Pescador is right.

Some household items emit an IR frequency that's similar to what the LED lights in your sensor bar do. The only drawback is that stuff like remotes only have IR output when a button is pressed. You'd drain the battery too fast if you held it down.

As said in the video, flashlights work too, but candle flames work just the same.

On the other hand, the sensor bar works using triangulation. The little camera inside your wiimote can't detect anything other than the two LED lights in your sensor bar. Thusly, if your wiimote is aimed between the two LEDs, it recognizes that you're aiming in the middle.


In other words, the sensor bar just calibrates the distance and speed of your wiimote functions, but the information is sent to the Wii console itself via wireless.

I'm assuming that you can tweak the intensity of the wiimote sensitivity by increasing the reception of the IR LEDs or creating a bigger IR field by increasing the distance.
