Wiimote your PC with GlovePIE |
Ó
Although we do have that video evidence of a PC reading the signals from a Wiimote, it doesn't immediately translate to controlling a PC program with the Wiimote. That's where Carl Kenner comes in with his GlovePIE, now with (partial) Wiimote support. That's PIE for Programmable Input Emulator, by the way, which allows the (ahem) VR Glove and, in this case, the Wiimote, as well as other VR devices to work with a PC.(The way we read it, you're also gonna need Bluetooth in your PC for this, so it can talk to the Wiimote.) Using it is as easy as extracting the file to a directory of your choosing, and running it. Zero installation. As for the other details of its operation, there's a Documentation file, and a Readme file.
It's still untested and not perfect, though - partly because it seems that Carl hails from Australia, and the Wii hasn't launched there yet; he must have adapted code from the VR glove or some other motion-sensing device. Should improve with future versions, he says. As for its uses... well, it's not like it can be used to play emulated Wii games on a PC (bite your tongue!), not in its current state, anyway. As a virtual mouse, maybe.

It's been out for like two weeks, stop pissing about with pc/bluetooth and go and play some Zelda will you!
The Wii hasn't come out yet. :( But only 5 days! IF, and only IF I got it reserved. Otherwise, I'm f****d.
Stop *****ing up the wiimote and trying to make it into a *****ing PC VR controller, it COMPLETELY does NOT deserve it. Somebody please hire a hitman and kill this mother*****er of a programmer making this *****?
wow, why are you people so hostile. Chill. its an app for the pc. who cares?
if you want it, get it, if you dont, then dont comment. wow some people have no sense of decency i mean give the guy some credit for making it.
Cool I would love to play with the Wii remote and the controller that would amazing playing games like Half life 2 with it instead of using a mouse you can use the Wii controller.
Also since wiis remote has more buttons then some computer mice do thats just flipping awesome!
Just so many ways to make this an awesome experince for pc players!
