Motus Darwin controller to bring that Wii feeling to the PC - Engadget

Quote:

Based on an existing Motus golf club controller called the iClub (very original, guys), the Darwin tracks motion using gyroscopes, accelerometers and a compass, which allows it to track absolute motion without the need for a sensor bar like the Wiimote. Motus also says that the Darwin is more accurate and faster to relay motion data than the Wiimote, which allows games to more accurately simulate real world activities.

They have already ported the Wiimote to the PC.

I doubt it will really catch on since the keyboard/mouse combo still has much better accuracy.

you can port a wiimote onto just about anything. Hey, theres even an article allowing me to use it on my eee, with its 7" screen!

A lot of the videos on youtube are people just using the accelerometer. You can set it up as a pointer by mounting some IR LEDs to your screen.
