what kind of things do you think developers should be doin with the wiimote
Kent?

i pitched a flight sim for the wii to inXile when i worked there.

Basically you use it like a joystick, just put it on your leg and you can go
left or right, pull back or push forward like a real joystick.

The wiimote with it's accelerometer can tell which direction is down always
so it knows which way you have the stick oriented.

I made up a proof of concept even and it worked well!

They didn't think much of the idea though oddly :P

In hindsight, since our ceo developed descent, i shoulda pitched it as a
control scheme for descent for the wii (tee hee).
