the "sensor" is actually in the remote. The bar is just two infrared leds seperated by a known distance, that the infrared camera in the remote uses to figure out it's position.

- extraduder_ire 2y agoThere's a homebrew head tracking demo [0] for the wii that has you put a sensor bar on your head, and a wiimote on top of your TV. I messed around with it over a decade ago and found it very convincing. 0: https://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Headtracking https://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Headtracking

The person who came up with that idea, Johnny Lee¹, went on to work on the xbox and I believe was also involved in development of the Kinect. 1. https://www.youtube.com/@jcl5m https://www.youtube.com/@jcl5m
