Wiimote FPS players sensor bar tip.

15 March 2016 - 04:07 AM

I had just recently started playing Call of Duty Black Ops 2 again, after not playing it for a long time.
I'm a big fan of playing first person shooters using the Wiimote, so naturally I'm using the Wiimote to play COD.
Anyway, I was playing around with sensor bar set-ups and came up with this configuration. I don't know if this has been discussed before but I thought I would share it anyway.

The picture as a snapshot of my television, and one of my games being replayed in theatre mode.
If you look at the bottom of the picture, you can see a block of wood, on top of the block of wood is a glass milk bottle, and on top of the milk bottle is the sensor bar(you can see the red IR LEDs at each end of it).
What this does for me, is align where my Wiimote is pointing to where the cursor is sitting in the very middle of the screen, so if I point the Wiimote at the centre of the screen I'll know the reticle will be there.
This trick has improved my KD ratio and earning killstreaks.
This method has really worked for me, but what I would like is for some of the wiimote players in this community to try out this method to see if there is any real substance in this mod.

Wii Zap U prototyping

11 September 2015 - 03:46 PM

A while ago, I posted a series of images of the "Wii Zap U" which was my design of a rifle like Wii U Zapper.

The link below shows some early concept art and the progression of the idea.

Now an opportunity has arisen to turn my ideas into real prototypes, so I ask for the help and support of this community.

After voting, please leave a reply so I know who to thank.

Another idea I have is for Wiimote FPS/Shooter fans.
A case or holder for your Wiimote that has levers which actuate buttons.  The levers will reach towards the [A] button.  A simple design might let you press plus, minus, D-left or D-right without moving your thumb too far from [A]. If I make one, I'll happily post the designs here for other members to use.
Thank you for your time.
