Off topic:

The wii remote references an array of infrared sources, typically
emitted from the supplied sensor bar. However, any two point sources
of infrared light can be substituted. For example, one could ignite
two candles and place them on either side of the television. Common
household candles emit in the infrared spectrum and thus can be used
as reference points by the infrared sensor in the controller. Due to
the fact that they are significantly brighter than those in the
supplied sensor bar, one should be able to use the controller from a
significant distance. Be careful not to burn your house down. You can
probably find some nice infrared emitting diodes at Radio Shack and
hook them up to an AC/DC converter instead.

Be safe. Experiment. Have fun.
