Seriously. I've been searching everywhere. What are candles? How do you use them? Is it actual candles? Like... set on fire candles? I don't think I've ever been so confused in my life. I just ordered a wireless sensor bar but that won't be here for weeks. Can anyone give me a full explanation / tutorial of the candle situation? Thank you in advance.
Yes it is real candles. Light two candles and put one on each side of your TV and use them as if they were a sensor bar. The end.

Cute. I shall try. I'm a science major and I have no clue how this is possible. Could someone perhaps explain the science behind this?
thats absolutely crazy lol
i want to know how it works too now lol
Candle flames emit infrared

Using the sensor bar version:
Wiimote signal -> IR sensor -> bluetooth -> computer
Candles:
Wiimote signal -> IR -> ???? -> computer

The wiimote actually is the sensor and the "sensor bar" emits the IR light. That's why you can simply replace the sensor bar with candles
wiimote detecting both IR emitters (both candles) and calculates where it is; and sends this information via bluetooth to the computer.

EDIT: Aah, NeoBrain was faster cuz I was searching for a shitty youtube video ^^
My theory:
Nintendo hardware developer: "So here's the new pointer feature for the wiimote, it works like this-"
Iwata: "Ah, it's a sensor bar picking up the wave rays shot from the wiimote! Awesome!"
Nintendo hardware developer: "Uh... yeah, and we also found a way to produce them really cheaply!" *hopes for a raise*
