How to Make a Sensor Bar

As a primary pointing device, the Wii Remote is used to navigate around the Wii menus by pointing at the screen.

The Wii Remote has a "IR camera" which picks up IR light. Then the data is sent to the Wii Console, so that on the TV it outputs a little cursor which is used for pointing and navigating around.

Actually the Wii Sensor Bar is not a Sensor, but it actually gives off IR light.

Candles also give off IR light, This will show you how to make your own Sensor Bar.
