Is it possible? Probably, but I imagine the solution would be very complicated. You would basically be making something like the Kinect. The most direct method I can think of is to use specialized webcam software that tracks motion and map that output to your mouse. Dolphin's emulated wiimotes can take mouse input, though I don't know how you would get your webcam to detect things like button presses. Webcams as input, as far as I know aren't natively supported by Dolphin though, so you have to find a way (like what I mentioned) to do it yourself.

Where does all these bright ideas come from anyway? Why complicate things when there is real Wiimotes and controllers that does the job.

It would technically be possible, but you'd
a. have to investigate if it actually makes sense, i.e. could reach acceptable accuracy
b. need to write the code for it.

For anyone who seriously asks that question, the answer should probably just be "no". Wink

I've actually seen and downloaded a program that does this. For example, you can just take a white strip and turn it like a wheel in MKW.
That said, I can't seem to find it. Tongue
