Use your Wii-Remote with the FlashPlayer – WiiFlash
You maybe know the Nintendo Wii and its controller the Wiimote. Joa Ebert and Thibault Imbert implement a AS3 package called WiiFlash which allows you to connect the Wiimote ( or Wii Remote Control ) with your Flash/Flex Application.
The Wiimote uses several sensors to detect different motion values. It allows you to read the acceleration value for X-,Y-, Z-axis and Roll, Pitch and Yaw, which is the rotation around the x-,y- and z-axis. So you have a lot more degrees of freedom than with a simple mouse or keyboard. A funny thing you could implement with this for example is WiiSpray, which also uses the WiiFlash Lib.
The WiiFlash package consists of two parts. The first one is the WiiFlash Server. It’s written in C++ / .NET and handles the communication with the Wiimote. The second part is the WiiFlash ActionScript API, which gives you methods and events to get and handle the Wiimote data.
